In his revelatory Neverland, Piers Dudgeon tells the tragic story
of J. M. Barrie and the Du Maurier family. Driven by a need to fill
the vacuum left by sexual impotence, Barrie sought out George du
Maurier, Daphne du Maurier s grandfather (author of the famed
Trilby), who specialized in hypnosis. Barrie s fascination and
obsession with the Du Maurier family is a shocking study of greed
and psychological abuse, as we observe Barrie as he applies these
lessons in mind control to captivate George s daughter Sylvia, his
son Gerald, as well as their children who became the inspiration
for the Darling family in Barrie s immortal Peter Pan. Barrie later
altered Sylvia s will after her death so that he could become the
boys legal guardian, while pushing several members of the family to
nervous breakdown and suicide. Barrie s compulsion to dominate was
so apparent to those around him that D. H. Lawrence once wrote: J.
M Barrie has a fatal touch for those he loves. They die."
