Barrie.Four volumes bound in two, the 'Uniform Edition' was published in twenty-two volumes.These two volumes include 'Auld Licht Idylls', 'Window in Thrums', 'Sentimental Tommy', and 'Tommy and Grizel'.Barrie is one of the most beloved Scottish authors of all time, with his children's tale 'Peter Pan' becoming one of the most classic pieces of children's literature ever.Besides 'Peter Pan', Barrie wrote many other successful works, but his magical adventure always overshadowed his other publications, such as the four works included in these two volumes.
