Later he wrote: "There were two things that marred my life, and from which I had saved: the glory of my father and" Christopher Robin ".

The family waited Milne girl and a boy was born, which became still nurture as a girl. Relationships with parents did not develop - the mother was occupied only a father - his creativity.

And Davis knew long ago, was friends with all of their five sons, but it was a four-year, Michael - (brilliant boy, as they say), became the prototype of Peter Pan. Rather, his age, character traits and nightmares.



Years later, the boy's mother approached storyteller so that after the death of her husband divorced his wife and moved to Davis. However, they never got married - in 1910, Sylvia Davis died of inoperable cancer of the breast. After that, Barry became the guardian of her five sons.
