J M Barrie's gift to GOSH
In 1929, J M Barrie unexpectedly and generously gifted his copyright of Peter Pan to Great Ormond Street Hospital (GOSH).
Barrie supported GOSH for many years and was approached in 1929 to sit on a committee to help the Hospital build a much-needed new wing. Barrie declined but said he ‘hoped to find another way to help’. Two months later, the Hospital board was stunned when Barrie donated all his rights for Peter Pan to GOSH, explaining that he was inspired by the children at GOSH.
Through this gift the hospital receives royalties from every production of the play, as well as from the sale of Peter Pan books and other products. Barrie requested the amount raised for the hospital from Peter Pan never be revealed, and GOSH has honoured his wishes. In recognition of J M Barrie’s unprecedented generosity, and the exceptional work of the Hospital itself, the House of Lords sprinkled more fairy dust over GOSH in 1988, by voting overwhelmingly for a special clause in the UK’s Copyright Designs & Patents Act giving the hospital the right to a royalty from Peter Pan in perpetuity.
For over 90 years, the story of Peter and his battle against arch-enemy Captain Hook has enchanted children and adults alike, while continuing to support seriously ill children across the UK who are cared for at GOSH and beyond.

Summary
This Audible Original Drama of Peter Pan takes listeners on a magical adventure with Peter, Wendy, Michael and John as they arrive in Neverland and take on Captain Hook with the help of Tiger Lilly and Tinker Bell.
The story begins at home in London during The Blitz, and Mary Darling is planning to evacuate her children to the countryside. However, her plans take an unexpected turn when a familiar face from her childhood returns...the one and only Peter Pan, the mysterious boy from Kensington Gardens. Intrigued by their mother’s friend, Wendy, Michael and John seek Peter Pan out, resulting in them being whisked off to Neverland and setting up home with Peter, Tinker Bell and the Lost Boys.
As Peter and his gang come up against the wickedly evil Captain Hook, their friendships and relationships are put to the test - can Wendy be honest with Peter about how she really feels, and will Michael and John return home without their sister?
Rupert Everett (The Happy Prince, My Best Friend’s Wedding) stars as Captain Hook alongside Adeel Akhtar (Four Lions, Killing Eve) as Smee, Gerran Howell (Catch-22, Emerald City) as Peter Pan and Eleanor Worthington Cox (Maleficent, Britannia) as Wendy alongside a full cast.

A fun version of great classic
Really fun and enjoyable version of Peter Pan. Rupert Everett is in his element at the villain Captain James Hook. And all the other voices are top notch too

it's fine
It's a fine dramatization of the Peter Pan story. The actors were good, but I didn't think it was anything special.

Decent entertainment for kids
Rupert Everett's performance as Hook was absolutely fantastic. The others were quite average. It was interesting to hear the non-Disney version of this story as there were a few scenes that we would consider going too far now, but I believe kids would actually get more of a kick out of.

A good story!
I liked it because it was interesting. I liked Wendy the most because she was really nice. I thought the crocodile with the clock in his stomach was clever but spooky. I thought there was too much fighting. But the ending was good. I would recommend the book. Read it in stages but dont take too long as you can sometimes forget where you were!
