Wonderful Andrew, thank you so much for posting.

Mary Dogdson's love for her mother is clear in her letters to her on the database. In one she clearly accompanied her letter with a cake from a department store. So sweet!

Also vital is how much the boys relied on her throughout their lives --- Michael wrote to her regularly, and Peter writing to her later in his own life shows how beloved she was to them. She certainly sounds like a remarkable woman, to start her own nursing home in such turbulent times.

I would love something new on the Davies boys. Personally I would prefer a limited series over a film as their lives would require hours to tell, I should think.

Have you given any thought as to which actors you’d like to play the boys? I myself could imagine Welsh actor Taron Egerton to play George and English actor Tom Holland to play Michael. They have some passing resemblance to each brother and are decent actors both. Their resemblance I made note of when I saw George’s 1914 photographs at Cambridge and Michael’s 1916 photograph for Pop at Eton. But these are only general musings, and surely if ever a film or a series were to be made I would like just anyone talented really. The actors are getting older and older to each play 21 year olds and older still if this ever gets put into production so I would like just anyone talented really, known star or no.

Hello Brutus. Yes, I have seen it and it is excellent. I thought that something that focused more on the boys would be interesting.

Why hasn’t a film been made that focuses on the Davies boys and their relationship with Barrie. Such an interesting story. I know there have been films such as Finding Neverland but one that covers the period from Sylvia’s death to Michael’s death would be intriguing.

Does anybody know the box that Barrie always used at the Duke of York’s Theatre? I read recently that he always used the same box but the box number may have changed. If I wanted to book a seat in the box for a performance which box would this be?
