Barrie is a collection of sketches that captures the personalities and characters Barrie encountered during his time at Edinburgh University. Written in the late 19th century, the work provides vivid, often humorous depictions of eleven individuals, showcasing their traits and quirks through Barrie’s keen observations and wit. The sketches reflect Barrie’s deep connection with his time at university and his appreciation for the diversity of students around him.
