The spark

"That is all Peter is -The spark I got from you" 
(dedication from J.M.Barrie to the Llewelyn Davies boys who inspired Barrie to write Peter Pan) 


Sing along and watch the video. You will learn why you should never smile to a crocodile.




This is the statue of Peter Pan that you can see in Kensington Gardens (London). The statue is placed exactly where J.M. Barrie wanted it to be.
 As you all know, Barrie is the author of Peter Pan, he lived near this part of the park, and we know that he used to come here to walk along with his San Bernardo dog (who would become the Darling family's nanny).
It was in Kensington Gardens where he met the Llewelyn Davies boys who inspired him to write Peter Pan.
Barrie (1860-1937) donated the copyrights of Peter Pan to The Great Ormond Street Hospital Children's Charity.
You can read a short Barrie's biography in its website.
 Peter Pan:Download the audio book from books should be free.
Or go to a bookshop and buy the book, if you prefer.
