"The Life and Adventures of Peter Wilkins, Volume 2" by Robert Paltock is a novel written in the late 18th century. The story continues the journey of Peter Wilkins, a Cornish man who has previously survived a shipwreck and encountered a fantastical world inhabited by flying beings called Glums and Gawrys. As he adjusts to this new realm, the narrative delves deeper into his interactions with its inhabitants and further explores themes of adventure, love, and social dynamics. At the start of this volume, Peter prepares for the arrival of his father-in-law, Pendlehamby, and reflects on his life since marrying Youwarkee, a Gawry. He engages in amusing conversations with his brother Quangrollart, who has come to visit, showcasing Peter's efforts to bridge cultural divides by educating them about English customs, food, and even the mechanics of firearms. The opening chapters reveal a mix of humor and genuine connection as Peter navigates both domestic life and social gatherings with an air of anticipation for the family reunion, highlighting his endeavors to impress his in-laws and adapt to the expectations of his new family.
