Description: THE PETERKIN PAPERS by Lucretia P. Hale

Interesting old book of humorous short stories about the (mis-)adventures of the not-very-bright Peterkin family and the "Lady from Philadelphia", who almost always seems to have the answer needed to resolve their latest dilemma. There are 22 stories altogether, with titles such as: "The Lady Who Put Salt in Her Coffee" and "Why the Peterkins Had a Late Dinner".

Size: approx. 8-1/2" x 6-1/2" - 219 pages

Publisher: Houghton, Mifflin and Company / The Riverside Press, Cambridge - Second Edition

Copyright: 1880 by James R. Osgood & Company and 1886 by Ticknor & Company

Condition: Just good, I'd say. While the pages of the book are in very nice shape, showing hardly any signs of use at all, the binding is seriously worn and is pulling away from the pages, which are still tightly tied together. Only the first and last (blank) pages are torn and separated from the rest.
