ECHOES OF THE WAR

The first story revolves around an elderly woman with no family who spontaneously adopts a man who is about to go to war. The second concerns the relationship between a father and his son who is enlisting as an officer, and the third story follows an elderly man with dementia as he s trying to make sense of the changes that are happening around him. The fourth and last story centres on a father trying to move on after his son s death. These masterful and thought-provoking tales are highly recommended for fans of the short story form, and are not to be missed by collectors of Barrie’s work. Sir James Matthew Barrie (1860 - 1937) was a Scottish writer and dramatist, most famous for being the creator of the classic children’s story Peter Pan . Many vintage texts such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive, and it is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition. It comes complete with a specially commissioned new biography of the author.
