| Summary | "Little Peter: A Christmas Morality for Children of any Age" by Lucas Malet is a children's story that appears to have been written in the late 19th century. The narrative focuses on the titular character, Little Peter, and his family as they navigate the whimsical and somewhat enchanting experiences surrounding Christmas and their journey to the church in Nullepart. The story promises to impart moral lessons through its portrayal of various characters, including the kind-hearted charcoal-burner, John Paqualin, who embodies a sage-like presence. The opening of the story introduces us to the pine forest where Little Peter lives with his family, emphasizing the natural beauty of the surroundings and hinting at deeper lessons to be learned from nature. Little Peter's innocence is shown as he waits for his brother Antony and interacts with John Paqualin, who presents himself whimsically, warning Peter about the dangers of the forest, including an imagined wolf. This sets the stage for thematic explorations of kindness, self-discovery, and the contrast between the innocent perspective of children and the complex world of adults. The relationships within Peter's family further highlight dynamics of love, worry, and adventure, building an atmosphere ripe for the festivities and reflections of the Christmas season.
