    Accompanying a larger work belonging to an institution that was, quite appropriately, bequeathed the rights to certain characters, and created by an artist who specializes in such subjects, this sculpture is thought to be the smallest in a large, cosmopolitan city. Perhaps if you believe (and also clap your hands), you'll be able to identify it for me. Who knows?

    A bronze statue by London-born sculptor Diarmuid Byron O'Connor was commissioned by Great Ormond Street Hospital — to whom Barrie bequeathed the copyright to the character — to be added to his four-foot statue of Peter Pan, wresting a thimble from Peter's hand. The figure has a 9.5-inch wingspan and is 7 inches high, said to be the smallest statue in London. It was unveiled on September 29, 2005 by Sophie, Countess of Wessex.

    Indeed, zbeck, the tiny Tinker Bell at the Great Ormond Street Children's Hospital is what I was after.

    Now, do you want a silver thimble or a silver kettle? I can fill them both with fairy dust.

    Here's a view of the Peter/Tink ensemble:

    A controversial contemporary artist has recently created a work using an item of 18th-century origin and has taken its title from an exasperated question asked by his mum.

Who is the artist, and can you find me an illustration of this glittering aesthetic achievement?
