Thanks for the link - it did make me laugh. What a ridiculous and nonsensical theory about Peter Pan’s origins.  But seeing it’s from an evangelical Christian site explains a lot.

Apart from the fact the article is pretty illiterate with many spelling mistakes as well as factual errors (Barrie had already met the LD boys long before his divorce for instance), the author references Piers Dudgeon whose book (not a biography, let alone an “autobiography”, more a work of fiction). Dudgeon’s book not only invents events to fit his own twisted theories but has also plagiarised Andrew Birkin’s work and uses quotes out of context.  The story of Sylvia’s will that was falsified for nefarious purposes has long been debunked.

I would also add the reference to the film Pan’s Labyrinth doesn’t make sense since the original tile is The Faun’s Labyrinth as American & British distributors thought “Pan” would be better understood. The god Pan is not a faun.

The author was not only illiterate but had a dirty mind.

Very true!
