Items related to The Real Peter Pan: The Tragic Life of Michael Llewelyn...
JM Barrie first encountered Michael Llewelyn Davies playing with his brothers in Kensington Gardens, and the young boys unworldly qualities made him the inspiration for Peter Pan. When Michaels parents - the models for Mr and Mrs Darling - died one after the other, the enigmatic and by now very rich author offered himself as the boys guardian. What followed, as this meticulously researched biography reveals, was a dark tale of possessive love and Michaels doomed efforts to free himself.

About the Author:
An enthralling new biography. --Mail on Sunday
Piers Dudgeon is the author of more than thirty works of non-fiction. He worked for ten years as an editor in London before starting his own company producing books with authors as diverse as John Fowles, Catherine Cookson, Peter Ackroyd, Daphne du Maurier, Shirley Conran and Ted Hughes.
Subsequently, he left London for Yorkshire, where he wrote a number of books evocative of the spirit of place and, among many biographies, Captivated: J. M. Barrie, the Du Mauriers & the Dark Side of Neverland (2008), which for the first time showed the depth of influence that the life and work of George du Maurier had upon J. M. Barrie, and Barrie himself had on the following generations of the du Maurier family, in particular on George's granddaughter, Daphne du Maurier.

Book Description Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Michael Llewelyn Davies was the fourth of five brothers who provided the inspiration for J. M. Barrie's characters Peter Pan, the Lost Boys and the Darling brothers. Barrie struck up an intense friendship with the children and their parents when he encountered them playing in London's Kensington Gardens, an area that would become the Neverland of his most enduring work. Something of the innocence of Michael, who stood out even among his brothers, went on to influence the creation of Barrie's most famous character, Peter Pan. Such was Barrie's closeness to the Llewelyn Davies family that he became trustee and guardian to the boys following the deaths of their parents. Theirs was an enduring relationship, particularly that between Barrie and Michael, to whom he wrote daily, but it was punctuated by the fiercest of tragedies. Throughout the heart-rending saga of Barrie's involvement with the Llewelyn Davies brothers, it is the figure of Michael, the most original and inspirational of their number, and yet also the one whose fate is most pitiable, that stands out. The Real Peter Pan is a captivating true story of childhood, friendship, war, love and regret. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. Seller Inventory # GOR006731741
