Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"Joan and Peter: The story of an education" by H. G. Wells is a novel published in 1918. Following two orphaned children through late-Victorian and Edwardian England, the story chronicles their turbulent upbringing as competing guardians battle over their education. Peter and Joan navigate questionable schools, social upheaval, and personal conflicts while growing up as wards. As World War I erupts, their experiences crystallize into deeper understanding about life, love, and the future. Wells crafted this ambitious work as both a critique of English education and a reflection on war's impact on society.
