Peregrine's Progress

"Peregrine's Progress" by Jeffery Farnol is a story about a young man, Peregrine Vereker, eager to break free from his sheltered life and discover himself. Raised by his strict Aunt Julia, Peregrine feels stifled and sets out on a journey for adventure and personal growth. The story begins by introducing Peregrine’s funny family, including his overprotective aunt and two unusual uncles, whose amusing interactions highlight Peregrine's desire for independence. Tired of being seen as too refined, Peregrine wants to find his place in the world, while making his aunt happy at the same time. This sets the scene for Peregrine's adventures, where he'll meet quirky characters, like a remarkable tinker, and learn important lessons about life.
