General topic / Michael Jackson and Peter Pan
« on: May 24, 2005, 08:04:10 PM »
Hi Andrew --

I just read your Midnight Musings post in which you mention Michael Jackson, and it got me thinking a little bit....

Do you think Jackson and all the recent coverage of his trial has somehwat damaged the image of Peter Pan and Neverland? Jackson's ranch has long been infamous, and he also apparently has statues of Peter Pan throughout the ranch and has often compared himself to the character.  Obviously those of us familiar with the story and especially those familiar with JM Barrie's life wouldn't let recent events/news affect our enjoyment of Peter Pan, but I can't help but think that some people, especially younger people who aren't too familiar with the play, may start to associate Peter Pan and Neverland more with Michael Jackson than with the story or the author, and see them in almost a sinister light.  What are your thoughts?

Davies Family / Andrew - Letters TO Nico Davies

Hi Andrew,

First off I just want to say what a great site this is and how much I've enjoyed it up to this point (without even scratching the surface of all the content I believe!).  Peter Pan is a fascinating story, but the story behind the story is perhaps even more fascinating, and you've done a tremendous job bringing that to light.

Anyway, I'm not sure if this is the proper venue to ask, but I was wondering if you have copies of, or after his death if you were given, the letters you sent TO Nico in the 1975-78 period you include on this website.  Nico makes many references to  your letters in his replies, especially in this particular passage: "Your long and fascinating letter demands an immediate attempt at an answer," so it would be very interesting to read both sides of the correspondence.  I realize it would be strange for some people to have copies of letters they sent people; I just thought under the circumstances (researching) you may have some stashed away.

If so, I'd love to read them! If not, I'm sure there's plenty of other material to keep me busy here....

Thanks,
george
