In The Greenwood Hat, Barrie offers a biography (of sorts) of the two years immediately before he found fame. Written as an old man, looking back, we find fact and fiction mingled into a humorous story in typical Barrie fashion. From earlier in his life, looking back to his student days, An Edinburgh Eleven uses a cricketing analogy to bind together a team of men who Barrie felt were greats. Again the humour is to the fore as he reveals portraits of men, some still remembered and some long forgotten.
