Produced by Bruce Albrecht, Annie McGuire and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net "The Return of Peter Grimm" by David Belasco is a novel that appears to be adapted from a play, written in the early 20th century. The book explores themes of afterlife, love, and the interrelations within family dynamics, centering around the character of Peter Grimm, a bachelor and owner of a botanical garden, and his close-knit relationships with the people around him, including his young wards and employees. The opening of the tale introduces us to the setting of Grimm Manor through the eyes of a young boy named Willem, who is delivering flowers on behalf of Peter Grimm. We learn about Peter's tradition of giving flowers to train passengers, which serves to illustrate his character as a generous and beloved figure in the community. As Willem interacts with the passengers and reflects on his longing for companionship and family, we see hints of deeper tensions, particularly regarding relationships and expectations surrounding love and marriage. The dynamic between Peter, Willem, and other residents, such as the young secretary Jim Hartmann and the alluring Kathrien, sets the stage for exploring Peter's inevitable fate and the bonds of love that transcend life itself.
