Peter Llewelyn Davies
Peter Llewelyn Davies (25 February 1897 – 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. He was awarded the Military Cross after serving as an officer in World War I, and in 1926 founded the Peter Davies publishing house. He struggled emotionally after the war, and eventually ended his life by suicide. He was the first cousin of the English writer Daphne du Maurier.
