For the Flowers family substitute one of the brothers Grimm, and provide him with an extended household commencing with grandmama.
Then place him in situ adjacent to neighbours, who could so easily be related to Characters from his own stories.
In the Grimms stories we think we know them through their characters, with the Flowers we imagine that we may know the characters via the family members stories.
Reading the Grimms stories though does anyone actually think a jot about the authors, what kind of families they came from. Or the things that press upon their attentions and minds as they strive for inspiration? Of course not who on earth would bother?
We have to glimpse Maurice Flowers through the impressions he makes on others, and how their actions impinge on him.
