And when a friendly robin helps Mary find the key, she discovers the most magical place anyone could imagine...

詹姆斯·马修·巴利，英国小说家、剧作家。他出生于苏格兰一个织布工人家庭，家里第九个孩子。自幼酷爱读书、写作，从爱丁堡大学毕业后成为一名记者。1885年移居伦敦后成为自由作家并开始创作小说和剧本，他一生创作了三十多部作品，Peter Pan《彼得·潘》是其久负盛名的一部，至今仍为世界各国圣诞节的魔幻剧目。其他代表作有Little Minister《小牧师》、The Admirable Crichton《孤岛历险记》等。
J. M. Barrie (1860-1937) was a bestselling writer well before he created Peter Pan.

Upon his death, Barrie left the copyright for Peter Pan to the Great Ormond Street Hospital for Sick Children in London.

肯尼斯·格雷厄姆（Kenneth Grahame，1859-1932），英国童话作家。他自幼失去双亲，跟着外公外婆在乡间生活，这使酷爱大自然和文学的他，得到了充分的滋养。而那风景如画的乡野风光，正是《柳林风声》中几个小动物的美丽世界。格雷厄姆一生坎坷，被家人安排做了一名银行职员。但骨子里对文字的热爱和对幼子的无限深情，使他用温暖细腻的笔触和奇幻丰富的想象力写出了《柳林风声》，描绘了诗意的大自然和友爱的小生灵，语言灵动，充满脉脉温情，是英国散文体作品的典范。
Kenneth Grahame(1859–1932) was born in Edinburgh, Scotland, the third of four children. When he was five, his mother died, and his father sent the children to live with relatives in England. Kindly treated yet emotionally isolated, the Grahame children constructed a world of childhood pleasures. He wrote little thereafter, spending his remaining years in extensive traveling and in final retreat to the tranquility of the English countryside.
