Show Notes

Yes! The same Barrie that wrote Peter Pan. After the huge success of Peter Pan, Barrie continued to write. But Peter Pan overshadowed all his other works. It's a shame that his lesser known short stories, such as this week’s “The Inconsiderate Waiter” and “My Brother Henry” do no not get more recognition. They are far deeper, darker, more cynical views of adulthood and more humorous than his land of Neverland. So we decided to read them for you! Enjoy!
