Synopsis
Peter and Wendy (1911) is the title of James M. Barrie's novelization of his most famous play, Peter Pan: or, The Boy Who Wouldn't Grow Up (1904). Inspired by Barrie's friendship with the Llewelyn Davies family, both the play and the novel tell the story of Peter Pan, a mischievous young boy who can fly, and his adventures on the island of Neverland with Wendy Darling and her brothers. The novel follows the play closely, though its final chapter is an addition to the original work. Peter and Wendy was first published in 1911 by Hodder & Stoughton in the United Kingdom and Charles Scribner's Sons in the United States. In 1929, Barrie gave the copyright to the works featuring Peter Pan to Great Ormond Street Hospital (GOSH), Britain's leading children's hospital.

Der Buchfink ist ein munterer, lebhafter, geschickter, gewandter und kluger, aber heftiger und zänkischer Vogel. Seine Lockstimme, das bekannte "Pink" oder "Fink" wird sehr verschieden betont und erhält dadurch mannigfache Bedeutungen. Im Fluge lässt er häufiger, als das "Pink", ein gedämpftes, kurzes "Güpp, güpp" vernehmen; bei Gefahr warnt er durch ein zischendes "Siih", welches auch andere Vögel achten; in der Begattungszeit zirpt er;
bei trübem Wetter lässt er ein Knarren vernehmen. (Quellennachweis: Brehms Tierleben, 2. Auflage 1879)
