Hurrah for Peter Perry!

A children's tale follows a schoolboy whose family must forgo their usual seaside holiday, sending him to explore the town and countryside during the long vacation. He meets a blind neighbor boy and his dog, becomes involved in misunderstandings and reconciliations, and encounters a gypsy encampment, a dwarf, and a self-styled knight-errant. Adventures range from lost-and-found incidents to displays of quick thinking and courage, and episodes resolve around domestic care and a Christmas-time conclusion. The episodic narrative blends everyday family life with rural excursions to explore empathy, resourcefulness, and community ties.
