J. M. Barrie gave the copyright in his Peter Pan works to Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children in London. From then on, royalties from performances and publications went to the hospital. Britain later wrote into law that, even after copyright ran out, the hospital could still collect royalties when the play is performed or published in the UK.
In the book Peter Pan (Peter and Wendy) · J. M. Barrie
Barrie's novel begins: All children, except one, grow up.
That one is Peter Pan. He flies in at night through the nursery window of the Darling family in London and carries Wendy and her two brothers off to the Neverland.
