“Hide-and-seek with angels: a life of JM Barrie” by Lisa Chaney

“What kind of man creates a boy who never grows up? More than 100 years after Peter Pan first appeared on the London stage, author JM Barrie remains one of the most complex and enigmatic figures in modern literature. A few facts, of course, are widely known: Peter Pan made Barrie the richest author of his time, and he bequeathed the royalties to the Great Ormond Street Hospital for Sick Children. He was married, but later divorced, and he was devoted to the orphaned sons of Sylvia Llewelyn Davies, one of whom was named Peter. And then the rumors begin—about the nature of his marriage from him; about his precise relationship between him and the Davies boys, whose guardian he became; about the fantasies and demons that determined his achievements of him. ”
