Summary "Our Wonderful Selves" by Roland Pertwee is a fictional narrative written in the early 20th century. The book explores the life and struggles of Wynne Rendall, a sensitive and introspective boy growing up in a suburban environment that stifles his creativity and individuality. As Wynne navigates the challenges of childhood, he grapples with the expectations of his family and society, reflecting a broader discourse on the conflict between personal aspirations and societal norms. At the start of the narrative, we are introduced to Wynne Rendall, who is depicted as a fragile and observant child. His interactions with his mother, Mrs. Rendall, reveal a distinct contrast between her emotional detachment and his vivid curiosity about the world. Wynne's upbringing is further complicated by his father, Robert Rendall, who embodies a more conventional and oppressive outlook. Their conflicting beliefs foreshadow Wynne's inner turmoil as he attempts to articulate his desire for artistic expression in a world that values conformity over individuality. The opening chapters set the stage for Wynne's journey of self-discovery, highlighting themes of familial conflict, the pursuit of creativity, and the struggle against societal expectations.
