A Different Opinion
Piers Dudgeon has a more negative portrayal of the writer in his books, “Neverland: J.M Barrie, the Du Mauriers, and the Dark Side of Peter Pan.” He makes his opinion of Barrie clear and even found some incriminating evidence proving that there was more to his relationship with the Davies children – other than being their Uncle Jim.

Firstly, Dudgeon dug up a letter Barrie wrote to Michael Llewelyn Davies, who was known as Barrie’s favorite Davies child. Is the fact that he has a favorite Davies child not strange enough? I don’t know how this odd behavior didn’t raise more flags, but it was a different time. The letter was written in June 1908, the night before Michael’s 8th birthday.
