I'll tell you.
Wendy is a now popular name
Unusually, it did not exist, until Barrie introduced it in 1904 in his stage play "Peter Pan"
Which was a tremendous hit.
When he graduated from Edinburgh University and moved to London, he took lodgings in a street that happened to be behind GOSH.
In 1929, he gave the rights to the royalties from his play to GOSH.
Barrie died in 1937. At the time, copyright in the UK extended to 50 years after the author's death
However, ex-Prime Minister Callaghan sponsored a Bill to amend the law so that the copyright in the Peter Pan play and derivatives would never expire, so GOSH receives the royalties in perpetuity. This is unique in Britain.
This law does not apply to performances and copyright in other countries.
