bcncookbookclub @AnnCrystal, I'm wondering the same! It's cool! I'm just reading a motherhood book, and the writer makes allusion to the Peter Pan 'mood'😅 2w

A look at the lives of J.M. Barrie & neighbours, the Llewelyn Davies family, whose five boys were instrumental in the development of the story of Peter Pan - especially Michael, their fourth son, on whom the main character was based. At first the friendships were thought to be of little concern but eventually Arthur Llewelyn Davies moved his family out of London to get away from Barrie's influence. (continued)

OutsmartYourShelf In this he was thwarted by his wife who facilitated Barrie's involvement. Unlike Peter Pan, Michael did indeed grow up, & as he did so he tried to break free of Barrie's influence, but only managed to do so in death. Accident or suicide? We will probably never know.

If events happened as they are laid out here, Barrie's presence was a wedge between the boys' parents, Sylvia & Arthur, who grew apart just before Arthur's tragic death of cancer at

OutsmartYourShelf a relatively young age, & Barrie's continued influence fractured this family from within. Even after reading this, I'm still unsure as to whether it could be termed emotional abuse, but the dynamic between Michael & Barrie became unhealthy for both of them.

Even with this darkness at the heart of one of our best-loved children's story, there were points when my attention wandered.

OutsmartYourShelf The writing style is quite rambling & the narrative sometimes went off on tangents instead of sticking to the main point. I found it a bit confusing at times, but I hadn't known about the link between the Llewelyn Davies family & the du Mauriers before reading this. 2⭐

I‘ve loved all the Beryl I read this past year, and this was no exception. I really enjoyed Stella, a most unusual young girl and her start in the theatre. My only issue is that I don‘t really understand what happened at the end of the book. I keep going over it in my mind. 🤔

BarbaraBB I need to read more by her. I only read and enjoyed 5mo
