“M. Barrie, Captivated: J. M. Barrie, the du Mauriers & the Dark Side of Neverland (Chatto & Windus, 2008), it is no longer possible to examine Barrie without reference to the du Mauriers, any more than it is possible to examine one of the du Mauriers without reference to Barrie. No surprise therefore that the tragic story of Michael Llewelyn Davies, whose mother was Sylvia du Maurier, puts Peter Ibbetson at its very core. Since 2008, George du Maurier’s Peter Ibbetson (the du Maurier family... myth) has appeared in various paper and ebook editions. However, if you can get hold of a copy of the 1947 Pilot Press edition you will have the additional joy of John Masefield’s reminiscence of what it meant to be a teenager when du Maurier’s novel first appeared in 1894. Having said this, The Real Peter Pan depends ultimately, as did Captivated, on research undertaken by others into the lives of Barrie and the du Mauriers, albeit as virtually distinct biographical entities.MoreLessRead More Read Less
