While known best for writing Peter Pan, J.M. Barrie wrote other stories in a very different style. Tommy and Grizel is such a book. The story of childhood playmates grown up into an odd pair of lovers, Tommy and Grizel has a flavor of melancholy about it. However, through it all, Barrie tells the tale with such delightful charm and personality that the reader feels as though the book is being read to him by the author.
