The best-known work of Lucretia Peabody Hale, who was an American author of the 19th century. This book, a collection of Hale’s stories about eccentric and absolutely slow-witted family, is considered to be a classic of American children’s literature. The Peterkins find themselves in numerous comic situations of everyday life: meal time, moving in a new house or photographing – everything turns into a conundrum that is always solved by “the wise lady from Philadelphia.”
A charming book for children, full of unlimited sense of humor and wittiness, is nevertheless an enjoyable reading for grown-ups, who are able to grasp the jokes, inaccessible for youngsters in view of their age.
