Courage

J. M. Barrie, creator of Peter Pan, on the one virtue he prized above all. Delivered as a rectorial address to students, it is a beautiful, moving plea to face life boldly, to dare, to endure, and to keep faith with the best in oneself. Written with all his tenderness and wit, it lingers long after it ends. A small masterpiece on bravery from a great storyteller at his most personal.
