Peter Llewelyn Davies MC (25 February 1897 â€" 5 April 1960) was the
middle of five sons of Arthur and Sylvia Llewelyn Davies, one of the
Llewelyn Davies boys befriended and later informally adopted by J. M.
Barrie. Barrie publicly identified him as the source of the name for
the title character in his 1904 play Peter Pan, or The Boy Who
Wouldn't Grow Up. This public identification as "the original Peter
Pan" plagued Davies throughout his life, which ended in suicide. He
was the first cousin of the English writer Daphne du Maurier.He was
awarded the Military Cross after serving as an officer in World War I,
and in 1926 founded the publishing house Peter Davies Ltd.Davies was
an infant in a pram when Barrie befriended his older brothers George
and Jack during outings in Kensington Gardens, with their nurse Mary
Hodgson. Barrie's original description of Peter Pan in The Little
White Bird (1902) was as a newborn baby who had escaped to Kensington
Gardens. However, according to family accounts, his brothers George
and Michael served as the primary models for the character as he
appeared in the famed stage play (1904) and later novel (1911), as a
pre-adolescent boy. Peter Llewelyn Davies Biography, NetWorth, Height, Age, Weight, Family, Married, Son, Daughter
