Summary | "Peterkin" by Mrs. Molesworth is a children's novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around a young boy named Peterkin and his family, particularly focusing on the events surrounding his mysterious disappearance one evening. The narrative combines themes of childhood adventure, imagination, and the quest for understanding a young boy's world filled with fairy-tale notions and whimsical thoughts, told through the eyes of his older brother, Giles. The opening of "Peterkin" sets the stage for a suspenseful and heartwarming tale. As the children are enjoying tea in the nursery, they learn that Peterkin has not returned home as expected. With various siblings, including the sensible Clement and inquisitive Elvira, they express concern about Peterkin's whereabouts. When it’s revealed that he has been delayed while captivated by a parrot and chatting with an elderly neighbor, the tension enveloping the family quickly shifts to relief and curiosity, igniting both concern for their brother and the anticipation of further adventures. This initial chapter captures a delightfully playful yet foreboding atmosphere, hinting at both the humorous and enigmatic elements that will unfold as the story progresses.
