The Last of the Peterkins, with Others of Their Kin

En savoir plus sur le livre

The narrative centers on the charmingly inept Peterkin family, who, despite their intelligence and resourcefulness, consistently lack common sense. Set in the late 19th century, the collection features humorous episodes that reflect upper-middle-class life, such as their misguided travels and domestic adventures. Each chapter, including titles like "Elizabeth Eliza Writes a Paper" and "Mrs. Peterkin in Egypt," showcases their amusing misadventures. This republished edition offers a modern take on a classic, complete with a biography of the author.
