All sorts of wisdom in Barrie's novels, much of it unexpected.

[Kate Hext @Kate_Hext]

'Kate was her name, and all Kates are saucy.'
-- Wisdom of an unexpected kind in J.M. Barrie's The Little White Bird (1902). An epigraph on my staff page perhaps?

[Visit Gloucester @VisitGloucester]

WE Henley keeps cropping up whilst researching #Gloucester's literary figures. Highly influential in the careers of JM Barrie, HG Wells, Kipling, Conrad & Robert Louis Stevenson. He was the inspiration for Long John Silver & wrote the poem #Invictus

It's #WorldTheatreDay - so an excuse to dig out this blog post about my ancestor, Henry Herbert Weltch, who appeared in the premiere of J.M.Barrie's 'The Little Minister' at the Theatre Royal Haymarket @TRH_London in 1897.

[J.M. Barrie Literary Society @JMBarrieSociety]

'You were unwelcome and uninvited, and you made yourself intensely disagreeable. However, your designs have failed. I struggle to my feet and order you to withdraw. Nay, withdraw is too polite a word. Your cab is at the door; get out.'

(J.M. Barrie, 'To the Influenza', 1892)
