Summary "Hurrah for Peter Perry!" by Eleanora H. Stooke is a children's novel likely written in the early 20th century. The story centers around young Tom Burford, a ten-year-old boy who confronts the trials of childhood as he navigates summer holidays at home due to financial constraints, while also dealing with his sick sister, Nellie. The narrative introduces themes of class differences and friendships, particularly through Tom's interactions with Peter Perry, the wealthy nephew of a local maiden lady. The opening of the book presents Tom's disappointment when his mother informs him that they won't be going to the seaside for the holidays, a tradition his father had maintained. As Tom wanders outdoors, he encounters Peter Perry and his dog, Bounce, which leads to an unexpected conflict between their pets. This unfavorable first interaction fuels Tom's sense of pride and resentment towards Peter, who he mistakenly assumes is condescending. However, Tom's perspective begins to shift as he becomes aware of the realities that Peter faces, including the fact that he is blind, which ultimately challenges Tom's preconceived notions and sets the stage for potential friendship and personal growth.
