When I was seven Peter Pan and Wendy was the book that initiated my love of literature.My parents read to me every evening but this was the first book I wanted to read so often that I had to learn to read it myself. This lead to an obsession with the story of Peter Pan(many of my favourite childhood memories are of going to see productions of the play)and a love for J.M Barrie’s writing. I consider The Little White Bird to possibly be the finest work of literature to exist. J.M Barrie has had such a great influence on my life and the way I perceive the world and, of course, so has George whose charming personality inspired the character of David A- and the creation of Peter Pan. On the 15th March my mum and I went to Belgium to mark the hundredth anniversary since George’s passing. I feel that George was such an important figure during my childhood and my growing up that it’s difficult to articulate the affection I have for him and how I felt to be standing by his grave. I'm glad I made the trip in the end although it was really very sad.
 Thanks Andrew Birkin for all the insight you have given me into the lives of J.M Barrie and the Llewelyn Davies family.
