I would love to post some excerpts here, but I must respect copyright, and ask that you do too. Peter Pan was originall published as Peter and Wendy, in 1911. It was published again in 1921 under the same title, but from 1950 onward the title was shortened, I think unfortunately for Wendy who really has a prominent role and no less in importance to that of Peter Pan, as merely Peter Pan. Lady Cynthia Asquith and Peter L. Davies renewed the copyright in 1939, which many of you may recall from your history books or classes, was the year Hitler’s Germany and Stalin’s Soviets invaded and divided Poland.
Anyway, ther is a “Peter Pan Bequest” Any royalties on the book goe to help doctors and nurses cure children who “are lying ill in the Great Ormond Street Hospital for Sick Children in London.”
