 Let s m eet
Sir Ja m e s M Barrie
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 TheLittle 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 / o r 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 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.

Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children in 1929.

Hook: Yes! A pirate's flag is usually black with a white skull on it.
It's called 'The Jolly Roger'.
John: Tell me about a pirate's life on a ship.

water to drink. A pirate must always obey his captain.
John: What does a pirate eat?
Hook: He eats dry biscuits, eggs, turtles, fish and salted meat.
John: Are some pirates famous?
Hook: Oh, yes! Some pirates are very famous. They include Henry
Morgan, Captain Kidd, Blaclcbeard, the Barbarossa Brothers and

other precious things in the treasure chest.
John: What does a pirate wear?
Hook: A pirate captain wears beautiful clothes and a big hat.
His clothes are colourful. Some captains wear jewels.
The other pirates wear simple clothes: dark jackets, cotton
shirts and comfortable trousers. Most pirates don't wear shoes!

John: Oh! A pirate's life is exciting!

Wendy and Peter play with the children and laugh with them.
But one night som ething happens. Wendy tells the children
this bedtime story:
'In the big city of London there are two parents. T h ey are
very sad because they cannot find their three children. Every
night they leave the nursery window open. They wait and wait
for their children to return. But they don't return. Poor parents!
They are very sad without their children.'
'Oh, Wendy, this is the story of our parents,' says John.
'Yes, it is,' says Michael.
P e te r l i s t e n s and say s, 'S o m e t i m e s p a r e n ts fo rg e t t h e ir
children and other children take their place.'
Wendy is very surprised. 'Oh, no!' she says! 'Perhaps there are
other children in our beds! John, M ichael we must go hom e!'
'Do we really have to?' ask John and M ichael.
'Yes, we've got to 1 return home.'
The Lost Boys are sad and say, 'Oh, Wendy, please don't leave
us!'
'Don't be sad. You can come and live with us in London,' says
Wendy.
'Oh, how wonderful!' the Lost Boys say. 'We can have a real
family.' T hey jump up and down with joy. T hey dance around
the room.

But Peter is not happy. He is very serious and says, 'I'm not
coming with you to London. I don't want to grow up. I want to
be a boy forever.'

T h e Tolly T © oger
here is a yellow moon in the night sky.
T h e Jolly Roger is in the bay near Kidd's
Creek. T h e children are on the pirate ship.
T hey are prisoners of Captain Hook and his
cruel pirates.
Captain Hook looks at them and says, 'T his
tim e it's Peter Pan or me! You idiots! Peter Pan
can't save you now.' Hook laughs and then calls Smee. 'Smee,
get the p la n k 1 ready!' /
'Yes sir!' says Smee.
'Now listen to m e,' says Hook. 'You must all walk the plank!'
'Walk the plank?' asks John.
'Yes! First you walk the plank and then you fall into the sea with
the crocodile. It will eat you! Ha, ha!' laughs Hook. 'But I can save
two of you. I want two young pirates. Who wants to be a pirate?'

1. plank : long, rectangular piece of wood.

47
 T h e Lost Boys look at John. John looks at M ichael and says,
'T h e life of a pirate is exciting. I don't want to walk the plank. I
d o n 't w a n t to be food for th e c r o c o d ile . L e t's be p ir a t e s !'
M ic h a el looks at his brother. T h en they look at Wendy. She
doesn't like their idea.
Captain Hook laughs and moves his hook in front of their faces.
'Do you want to be pirates, yes or no?' he asks.
John and M ichael say, 'N ever!'
Captain Hook is angry and says, 'T h en you must walk the
plank and die!'
Wendy is afraid. She loves her brothers and the Lost Boys.
She has tears in her eyes.
 T h e boys stand near the plank and Wendy w a tch es them .
A pirate asks, 'Who is the first to walk the plank?'
At that mom ent there is a loud noise. 'Tick! Tock! Tick! Tock!'
Captain Hook's face is white. He says, 'T he crocodile is here.
He wants ME!' He runs to his cabin and hides there.
'Who is the first to walk the
plank?' asks a pirate. 'Com e
on! Let's go! The crocodile is
hungry.'
Suddenly Peter Pan appears on the
pirate ship. Tinker Bell follows him.
Wendy and the boys cheer. 1 They are
very happy to see their young hero.
Hook and his pirates are furious. Hook takes his sword and
says, 'I want to fight you, Pan! Tonight you will die!'
Hook fights w ith his long sword and w ith his hook. Peter
fights courageously. He pushes Hook to the back of the ship. It
is a terrib le fight. John, M ich ael and the Lost Boys fight the
pirates. After a long fight they throw the pirates into the sea.
Peter and Hook move all around the big ship. Their swords
make a loud noise. Suddenly Peter takes Hook's sword and
pushes him into the sea! Hook shouts, 'OH, N O !' He falls
into the sea and into the mouth of the hungry crocodile.
'Oh, Peter, we are proud 2 of you!' says Wendy. She
kisses him on the cheek. The boys cheer. Peter smiles
and says, 'The Jolly Roger is ours now. Let's go home!'

1. cheer : shout happily.

2. proud : pleased and satisfied.

 Fairies
Who are fairies?
Some people say that:
• fairies are little people with wings
• they live in the forest, in trees, in flowers and in gardens
• there are good and bad fairies
• fairies are magic
• they can do good things and bad things

Fairies are part of the British, Irish, northern European,

Scandinavian and old Celtic cultures. There are many stories about
fairies. Some are called fairy tales.
In Peter Pan Tinker Bell is Peter's fairy. The fairies of Neverland
are Peter's friends. In Pinocchio there is a kind fairy called the Blue
Fairy. She always helps Pinocchio. In Cinderella a fairy godmother
is Cinderella's good friend.
There are fairies in one of William Shakespeare's plays too.
In A Midsummer Night’s Dream Oberon and Titania are the
king and queen of the fairies.
American and British children believe in the tooth fairy.
When a child's tooth falls out he/she puts it under the pillow
and goes to sleep. During the night the tooth fairy takes the
tooth and puts money or sweets under the pillow. The next
morning the child finds the surprise and is very happy.
Dr W Evans-Wentz is an expert of Celtic myths. He says,
'Fairies exist but they are invisible.'
