Geraldine McCaughrean that what makes her love writing is the desire to escape from an unsatisfactory world. Her motto is: do not write about what you know, write about what you want to know. Her work includes many retellings of classic stories for children: "The Odyssey", "El Cid", "The Canterbury Tales", "The Pilgrim's Progress", "Moby Dick", "One Thousand and One Arabian Nights" and "Gilgamesh". J. M. Barrie gave all rights to "Peter Pan" to Great Ormond Street Hospital in 1929, and in 2004, to coincide with "Peter Pan"'s centenary, the hospital launched a competition to find the author of a sequel.
