by James Matthew Barrie (Author)

My Lady Nicotine; Margaret Ogilvy is a book written by J.M. Barrie and published in 1921. The book is a combination of two works, the first being a short story about Barrie's love for smoking and the second being a memoir of his mother, Margaret Ogilvy, who passed away when he was a young boy. The first part of the book, My Lady Nicotine, is a humorous and personal account of Barrie's relationship with smoking. He describes his first cigarette and the pleasure he found in smoking. He also discusses the different types of smokers he has encountered and the social aspects of smoking. The second part of the book, Margaret Ogilvy, is a touching memoir of Barrie's mother. He writes about her life, her personality, and her impact on his own life. He recalls her love for literature and her encouragement of his own writing. He also reflects on his own grief and the ways in which his mother's death affected him. Overall, My Lady Nicotine; Margaret Ogilvy is a unique combination of personal memoir and social commentary. It offers insight into Barrie's own life and experiences, as well as his observations on the culture of smoking and the importance of family.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
