Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. 1st Edition. First edition. Small octavo decorated green cloth stamped in black. Illustrated with 8 full-page line drawings. Hale is best-known as the author of a series of stories about a family named Peterkin, the first of which appeared in 1867 in the magazine Our Young Folks (later St. Nicholas Magazine). The series continued for nine years and made the Peterkins a household word. The Peterkin Papers is a book-length collection humorous stories and is her best-known work. The Peterkins are a lovable but comically inept family with ingenuity, resourcefulness and energy - but not common sense. In this and later works she helped to break new ground in children's literature by writing stories to amuse young people rather than to instruct them. Bookplate on front pastedown and former owner's name on a front flyleaf. Light rubbing to spine tips. A near-fine copy preserved in a half green morocco slipcase and green cloth chemise.
