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 generous1 man. In 1929 he makes an important decision: 

Every time Peter Panis 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.
