Meet the Peterkins, a lovable crew with a notable lack of common sense. These comic tales chronicle their roundabout attempts to solve simple, everyday problems. Cheerful and energetic, the close-knit family of eight resides in a village near Boston. They play their piano from the front porch because the movers left it with the keyboard facing the parlor window, and they\'re ready to raise the ceiling to make way for a towering Christmas tree. Only the timely intervention of "the wise old lady from Philadelphia" keeps them from acting on their more elaborate madcap schemes.Author Lucretia Hale, sister to writer and cleric Edward Everett Hale, helped break new ground in children\'s literature by writing stories to amuse young people rather than instruct or uplift them. These tales first appeared in 1867 in a popular children\'s magazine of the era, and in the course of a decade, the Peterkins became a household word. "The years pass them along to every new generation," noted Harper\'s Bazaar, "with the hint that human nature is about the same everywhere and all the time." Hailed by The New York Times as "a masterpiece" and graced with 153 delightful black-and-white illustrations, this book offers a glimpse of nineteenth-century New England life that charms readers of all ages

Girls, listen—if friend hubby comes home to-night and while hurlin\' the cat off his favorite chair, remarks that he\'s got a scheme to make gold out of mud or pennant winners out of the St. Looey Cardinals, don\'t threaten to leave him flat and accuse him of givin\' aid and comfort to the breweries. Turn the gas out under the steak, be seated and register attention—because maybe he has! Scattered around all the department stores, coal mines, butcher shops, the police force and banks, there\'s guys which can sing as well as Caruso, lead a band better than Sousa, stand Dempsey on his ear, show Rockefeller how to make money or teach Chaplin some new falls. Yet these birds go through life on eighteen dollars every Saturday with prospects, and never get their names in the papers unless they get caught in a trolley smash-up. They\'re like a guy with the ice cream concession at the North Pole. They got the goods, but what of it? As far as the universe is concerned it\'s a secret—they\'re there with chimes on, but nobody knows it but them!
