Peck's Bad Boy
Henry "Hennery" Peck, popularly known as Peck's Bad Boy is a fictional character created by George Wilbur Peck (1840–1916).[1] First appearing in the 1883 novel Peck's Bad Boy and His Pa, the Bad Boy has appeared in numerous print, stage, and film adaptations. The character is portrayed as a mischievous prankster, and the phrase "Peck's bad boy" has entered the language to refer to anyone whose mischievous or bad behavior leads to annoyance or embarrassment.[2] Described as "a vicious little swaggerer" and "no more than a callous brute",[3] Hennery's antics were more mean spirited than earlier boyhood characters like Huckleberry Finn,[4] and modern criticism views the violence and racism in the original stories as objectionable or politically incorrect.[5][6]
