Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"The Story of Leather" by Sara Ware Bassett is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book focuses on the life of Peter Coddington, a high school student who faces academic challenges and must confront the consequences of his actions. After failing his courses, his father, Mr. Coddington, sends him to work at the family’s tannery, where Peter undergoes significant personal growth while navigating his newfound responsibilities. At the start of the narrative, Peter grapples with the disappointment of his poor school performance, particularly as it affects his spot on the school’s baseball team. In a pivotal moment, his father decides to take proactive steps, believing that working at the tannery will teach Peter valuable lessons about hard work and responsibility. As Peter adjusts to life at the tannery, he encounters the harsh realities of labor but also discovers the importance of community and camaraderie among the workers, leading to a journey of self-discovery and maturation.
