''Peterkin'' is a children's novel by Mrs. Molesworth, first published in 1902. The story follows a young boy named Peterkin, whose curious nature leads him to a series of adventures, starting with his encounter with a talkative parrot. Told through the perspective of his older brother Giles, the narrative explores themes of family, imagination, and childhood adventure, capturing the social customs of early 20th-century England. The book is notable for its blend of humor and suspense, making it a forgotten classic of Victorian children's literature.
