J. M. Barrie was neither gay nor a pedophile. The boys he adopted who lived into the mid 20th century refuted that over and over again. He was an eccentric, though, in the tradition of Lewis Carroll.

Thank you for the clarification on Barrie. The book IS weird, though, and there were some Catholic sources who used Barrie’s friendship with Chesterton to attack Chesterton. I am glad for the clarification.
