Little Peter: A Christmas Morality for Children of any Age is the 1888 work of Lucas Malet, the pen name for Mary St Leger Kingsley, a Victorian Novelist. We are dedicated to bringing the world the best of humankind's literature from throughout the ages. Peter, a believably sweet and innocent little child, has two friends, the stuffy Cincinnatus, and the bitter crippled hermit Jean Paqualin, who is hated in the small French village near his home in the pine forest. A touching, romantic book.
