Much ADO about Peter by Jean Webster (9781976084782)

Description - Much ADO about Peter by Jean Webster

Jean Webster (pseudonym for Alice Jane Chandler Webster) was an American writer and author of many books including Daddy-Long-Legs and Dear Enemy. Her best-known books feature lively and likeable young female protagonists who come of age intellectually, morally, and socially, but with enough humor, snappy dialogue, and gently biting social commentary to make her books palatable and enjoyable to contemporary readers. We follow Peter's life while working as a groom for the wealthy Carter family. He has to deal with rowdy young children of his upper class employers, who tend to both look down and up to Peter. There's plenty of slap stick humor with pranks and tricks being played by the children. Later, Peter starts making odd and questionable decisions, but all ends up well.
