Description

Peregrine Roderick Clyde-Brown is a young boy with a unique set of skills that make him an unlikely candidate for traditional education. His literal nature and lack of discernible thought make him perfect for a career in the British Army, where his 'talents' can be fully utilized. At Groxbourne, Peregrine meets Mr Gladstone, a teacher who uses unorthodox methods to teach arithmetic. When Gladstone whisks the boy off on a mystery, Peregrine finds himself in a series of chaotic and unpredictable situations that test his abilities and push him to his limits. As Peregrine navigates this complex web of events, he must confront his own limitations and learn to think for himself. With its unique blend of humor and suspense, "Vintage Stuff" is a story about self-discovery and the power of unexpected circumstances.
