The Little White Bird is a series of short episodes, narratives and day-to-day accounts of J M Barrie's life in London. The tone oscillates from whimsical to social comedy to darkly aggressive. Part of the book's continuing popularity was due to the couple of softer chapters telling the story of Peter Pan, later to become the hero of Barrie's most famous work.

"ECHOES OF THE WAR" contains four short stories. "THE OLD LADY SHOWS HER MEDALS", "THE NEW WORD", "BARBARA'S WEDDING", and "A WELL-REMEMBERED VOICE." The stories are about death and loss and the way family life tries to tame–literally, to domesticate–those painful realities. While "Peter Pan" is essentially and deliberately timeless, "Echoes of the War" is firmly anchored in the time of The Great War and the social disruptions it created.
