Arthur Llewelyn Davies (20 February 1863–19 April 1907) was a respected barrister, but is best known as the father of the boys who served as the inspiration for Peter Pan and the other children of J. M. Barrie's stories of Neverland. Although he lived to see his sons immortalised by their dramatic namesakes on stage, his death in middle age left his family in the care of the playwright who had already challenged his place in their affections.
