Track 1: Let's meet Sir James M Barrie(1860-1937)
Hello, I'm James Barrie!
I come from Scotland.
I'm a writer and I love writing books and plays for the theatre.
I have a big St Bernard dog called Porthos. I often take him to Kensington Gardens in London. Here I meet many children and tell them stories.
My first novel is The Little Minister (1891).My play Peter Pan (1904) is a big success. Children and adults like this play a lot.
(Sir James M Barrie dies in London in 1937.)
J M Barrie and Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children
J M Barrie likes children very much. He wants children to be well and happy.
In London there is a hospital for sick children called Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children. Barrie often visits this hospital because he wants to help the children.
Barrie is a very generous ① man. In 1929 he makes an important decision:Every time Peter Pan is performed in a theatre, the money from the play goes to Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children. This money helps the children, the hospital, the doctors and the nurses.
Peter Pan is performed once a year at the hospital. This is a very happy event for the sick children.
