The press is reporting a dispute between GOSH and Disney over the publishing of a Peter Pan "prequel" -- entitled Peter and the Starcatchers -- by Disney's subsidiary (Hyperion). The book was written by Dave Barry and Ridley Pearson. The Telegraph (London) appears to have broken the story yesterday (Telegraph article), and today the NY Post reported on it too (NYPost article). The Telegraph story refers to Emily Somma's case as "hanging over the hospital" and Disney reportedly made a statement referring to Somma's case as "another American test case." According to the Telegraph story, the hospital has sent a letter to Hyperion, and will be "discussing it with [their] lawyers next week."
