Description
Charley, Margaret, Arthur, Maurice, Harry, Crompton and Theodore Llewelyn Davies, who are the subject of this family history, were born between 1860 and 1870. Their mother was the daughter of a judge; their father a well-known clergyman and scholar, and an honorary chaplain to Queen Victoria.
The name Llewelyn Davies is best known today because of the story of how Arthur?s sons became the inspiration for ?Peter Pan?. But the others are equally interesting. Leonard Woolf said of Margaret; ?If she had been a man, her achievements would have filled probably half a page in Who?s Who.?
A strong radical streak ran through the family and they all became passionately involved in social and political issues. They were part of that active group of pioneering reformers, some well-known, who campaigned for proper education for women and working people, better social conditions, universal suffrage, land tax reform, Irish nationalism and world peace.
Maurice?s granddaughter, Jane Wynne Willson, has drawn on a large collection of letters as well as personal anecdotes to produce a fascinating account of this truly remarkable family.
