Title Margaret Ogilvy
Credits Transcribed from the 1897 Chatto & Windus edition by David Price
Summary "Margaret Ogilvy" by J. M. Barrie is a biographical memoir written in the late 19th century. This work, penned by the author renowned for creating Peter Pan, delves into the nuanced and tender portrait of Margaret Ogilvy, Barrie's beloved mother. The narrative captures not only the warmth and resilience of Margaret's character but also the profound impact she had on her son and the family dynamics within their household. At the start of the memoir, Barrie paints vivid scenes from his childhood, reflecting on his mother’s strength and softness, especially during the early days of his life. He recalls the significance of minor events, such as their purchase of hair-bottomed chairs, which symbolize her ambitions and aspirations for the family. The opening chapters introduce Margaret's nurturing yet tenacious spirit as she navigates the challenges of motherhood, particularly after the loss of a child. Barrie masterfully intertwines humor and poignancy, illustrating the deep bond he shared with his mother and the lasting legacy of her influence on his life and career as a writer.
