Description: Sir James M. Barrie, a Scottish author, playwright, and baronet, was famous for his play Peter Pan. Echoes of the War consists of four short plays, written for radio, that tell of the lives of those left at home during the war. Barrie explores the relationship of sons to fathers, of the loss of control families had when their sons volunteered to go off to war, and the effect on the community of so many young men dying and injured in a senseless struggle. "The Lady Shows Her Medals" is considered the finest of the plays, and one of the most poignant tales of loss written about World War I. This book is unique in that it has the name plate of the owner as "Chas. H. Scribner." This is possibly a member of the Scribner publishing family, as several descendants of the founder, Charles H. Scribner, served as executives in the firm, and would have had a high regard for the author and his work.
