A book about Peter Pan creator J. M. Barrie’s love of cricket has been launched at Kirriemuir library.
Journalist Kevin Telfer was writing about Great Ormond St Hospital when he first found out about Barrie’s passion for the game.
His book, Peter Pan’s First XI, tells the story of the Allahakbarries, which featured luminaries such as Arthur Conan Doyle, P. G. Wodehouse, A. A. Milne and Jerome K. Jerome.
Kevin Telfer will be undertaking a series of ‘meet the author’ events.
Venues will include Kirriemuir Library, the Camera Obscura, Whatley’s Bookshop and the Festival Club at the Thrums Hotel.
The latest details of venues, times and further announcements are available at www.barrie2010.org.uk and on the daily ‘what’s on’ posters outside the Gateway to the Glens Museum and Thrums Hotel.
