In this group image we see Barrie with four of the boys together with their hostess. In the back row: George Llewelyn Davies (age 18), the Duchess of Sutherland and Peter Llewelyn Davies (age 14). In the front row: Nico Llewelyn Davies (age 7), J. M. Barrie (age 51) and Michael Llewelyn Davies (age 11). Online via Andrew Birkin and his J.M. Barrie website. After their mother's death, the five Llewelyn-Davies boys were alone. Who would take them in? Be a parent to them? Provide for their financial needs? Neither side of the family was really able to help. In 1976, Nico recalled the relief with which his uncles and aunts greeted Barrie's offer of assistance: ...none of them [the children's uncles and aunts] could really do anything approaching the amount that this little Scots wizard could do round the corner. He'd got more money than any of us and he's an awfully nice little man. He's a kind man. They all liked him a good deal. And he quite clearly had adored both my father and mother and was very fond of us boys.

I II SVEUČILIŠTE U RIJECI UČITELJSKI FAKULTET U RIJECI Integrirani i preddiplomski i diplomski sveučilišni učiteljski studij Petar Pan kao lik vječnog djeteta DIPLOMSKI RAD Predmet: Dječja književnost na engleskom jeziku Mentor: Ester Vidović, dr.sc. Student: Matea Justinić Matični broj: 0299009049 U Rijeci, svibanj, 2019. III Zahvala: Veliku zahvalnost dugujem svojoj mentorici dr. sc. Ester Vidović koja mi je svojim savjetima i podrškom pomogla pri izradi ovog diplomskog rada. Također, zahvaljujem se svojim prijateljima koji su mi olakšali studiranje i pisanje diplomskog rada. Na kraju, posebnu zahvalnost šaljem svojim roditeljima koji su bili uz mene tijekom cijelog školovanja jer bez njih ništa ne bi bilo moguće. Velika HVALA svima! IV Izjava o akademskoj čestitosti „Izjavljujem i svojim potpisom potvrđujem da sam diplomski/završni rad izradila samostalno, uz preporuke i savjetovanje s mentorom. U izradi rada pridržavala sam se Uputa za izradu diplomskog/završnog rada i poštivala odredbe Etičkog kodeksa za studente/studentice Sveučilišta u Rijeci o akademskom poštenju.“ _________________ Matea Justinić V SAŽETAK Ovaj diplomski rad istražuje djelo Petar Pan, odnosno sindrom vječnog djetinjstva glavnog lika. Prvo poglavlje rada bazira se na autorovu životu, prošlosti, književnom radu i postignućima. Tragična situacija u obitelji, nastala nakon smrti njegovog brata navela ga je na bavljenje književnošću i postala inspiracija za pisanje njegovog najpoznatijeg djela Petar Pan. Također je opisan sadržaj knjige „Petar Pan- dječak koji nikada ne odrasta“, koja je i originalna verzija među mnogobrojnim preradama i nastavcima. Glavni lik Petar Pan ima mnogo vrlina, ali i mana zbog kojih je jedinstven i originalan kao i njegovi odnosi s ostalim likovima u knjizi, bili oni njegovi prijatelji ili neprijatelji koji žive u Nigdjezemskoj.

  • Peter Pan Is a Relative Newcomer to the World of Pantomime, Despite the Fact That It Has Been a Highly Successful Children's Play Since 1904
    Peter Pan is a relative newcomer to the world of pantomime, despite the fact that it has been a highly successful children's play since 1904. When J.M. Barrie, the author created the play, it was an instant success, and for over eighty years his original work has been performed at Christmas, mainly in London, and later throughout the country. Barrie donated all the royalties of 'Peter Pan, or the boy who could not grow up' to the Great Ormond Street Hospital for Sick Children, to enable generations of children to grow and flourish. Today the hospital still receives generous donations from the producers of the play, but the copyright no longer means that only Barrie's original version has to be performed. Indeed, the Disney film 'Peter Pan' was an exception, and today it is possible to see the original in one theatre, an adaptation at the Royal National Theatre, and a 'Pantomime' style production in yet another venue. J.M. Barrie, born in 1860, befriended his neighbours, the Llewelyn-Davies family in Kensington. Peter Llewelyn Davies and his four brothers became the first to hear the tales of Peter Pan, and were all in part involved in his creation. 'I made Peter by rubbing the five of you violently together, as savages with two sticks produce a flame. Peter Pan is the spark I got from you', he told them. Barrie was also the creator of the name 'Wendy'. A colleagues daughter, Margaret called Barrie her 'Fwendy' or 'Wendy', and he used her inability to pronounce the 'r' to create the name Wendy for the very first time.

  • The Church, Sin and Reconciliation – Part Iii
    THE CHURCH, SIN AND RECONCILIATION – PART III A little over five years ago, I saw a play in London (one of five in three days!) called Peter and Alice. It was a new work by the screenplay writer for the movie Skyfall which was created with two great actors in mind—Dame Judi Dench (M in Skyfall) and Ben Whishaw (Q)—portraying the real people on whom Peter Pan and Alice in Wonderland were based. It was set in a London bookstore, the scene of a real meeting some years after WWI between Peter Llewelyn Davies, then in his thirties, and the 80 year-old Alice Liddell. The play moves back and forth between past and present, and reveals the apparent sexual abuse Peter and his younger brother suffered at the hands of J.M. Barrie (who adopted Peter and his four brothers when their parents died) and the abuse Alice endured from Lewis Carroll (real name, the Rev. Charles Dodgson), a close friend of her family. Alice, now old, widowed and having lost three sons in the war, has found a way to leave the past behind. Peter however, much younger and having lost a brother in the same war and another by apparent suicide—the youngest, who was also abused by Barrie—can’t let go of his bitterness. After ninety minutes without an intermission, the play ends with Alice walking through a door and briefly turning to the audience while the voice of her younger self tells us that she lived for another year and died peacefully at her beloved country home.

  • Introduction ]
    [Introduction ] Old wine is often all the better for being re- bottled; perhaps old wives’ tales are like that, too. —Big Claus and Little Claus How do you breathe new life into forms considered archaic, dated, passé, old- fashioned, or, worse yet, obsolete? Peter Davies set himself that challenge when he published The Fairies Return, an anthology described on its dust jacket as a “Christmas book written by a number of distinguished authors. It is a collection of well- known fairy stories retold for grownups in a modern setting.” Moving the tales from times past, from the nursery to the parlor, and transforming the wondrous into the quotidian (and vice versa) was a chal- lenge he issued to “several hands”—fifteen contemporaries, most of them on familiar terrain when it came to fairies and folklore. Together, they created a rich mosaic, with each vi- brant tile telling us as much about Great Britain in the era [ 1 ] following World War I as about the culture from which it was drawn. The Fairies Return offers sophisticated fare for adults rather than primal entertainment for children. Moving in a satirical mode, it delivers on the promise of what “satire” originally meant: satura, or a mixture of different things blended to suit discerning tastes.1 Not only do we have a vari- 2] ety of tales drawn from Denmark, Germany, France, and the Orient (in addition to England), but we also have authors who choose targets that include evils ranging from preda- tory behavior and political corruption to drug addiction and social ambition.

Likewise, an accompanying cheque from the National Bank Limited, dated 1911, is signed by Moya Llewelyn Davies. Neither document references the album, however. Note: Sylvia Jocelyn Llewelyn Davies, 1866-1910, née Sylvia Du Maurier, was the daughter of George Du Maurier and the aunt of the novelist Daphne Du Maurier. She married Arthur Llewelyn Davies in 1892 and the couple had five sons: George, Jack, Peter, Michael and Nicholas (Nico). Sylvia Llewelyn Davies is best known for being the 'mother of Peter Pan'. In fact, the entire family can be seen as character models for Peter Pan, the 'Lost Boys' and the Darling family. J.M. Barrie met Sylvia Llewelyn Davies at a dinner party in 1898, and during the course of the meal, realised that he had met her sons whilst walking his dog in Kensington Gardens.
