Copertina di J. M. Barrie: Echoes of the War (Barnes & Noble Digital Library) (ePUB)

J. M. Barrie wrote plays to promote support for the “war to end all wars.” Yet they are not plays about war, but rather about parents and the children they send off to war. Though intended to foster support for WWI, from today’s vantage point they can just as easily be interpreted as anti-war. In this play, two old ladies and a criminal sit down to tea to discuss war.
