Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"Pippin; A Wandering Flame" by Laura Elizabeth Howe Richards is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story follows Pippin, a young man recently released from prison, as he embarks on a journey of self-discovery and redemption. With a lively spirit and a determination to start fresh, Pippin encounters various characters who help shape his path and reaffirm his commitment to living a good and honest life. At the start of the book, we meet Pippin as he prepares to leave Shoreham State Prison. The opening chapter depicts an emotional farewell between him and the prison chaplain, Mr. Hadley, who has played a significant role in Pippin's transformation during his incarceration. Pippin reflects on his past, aware of the challenges ahead, and constructs an idealized version of a loving family in his mind, which serves as his motivation to find his own place in the world. He decides to take on the trade of scissor-grinding while searching for his true calling, exhibiting a buoyant spirit despite his troubled history. This initial glimpse into his character establishes a hopeful narrative filled with potential for growth and healing.
