Big Peter is a novel written by Archibald Marshall and published in 1922. The book tells the story of Peter Lanchester, a young man from a wealthy family who is sent to a boarding school in England. Despite his privileged upbringing, Peter struggles to fit in with his classmates and finds himself drawn to the school's outcasts and misfits.As Peter grows older, he becomes increasingly disillusioned with the world of the wealthy and privileged, and begins to question his own place in it. He becomes involved in various social causes, and eventually becomes a champion of the working class.Throughout the book, Marshall explores themes of class, privilege, and social justice, and offers a critique of the British aristocracy and the class system that dominated British society in the early 20th century. Despite its age, Big Peter remains a relevant and thought-provoking read for anyone interested in social justice and the struggle for equality.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
