Peck's Fun is a 276 page
collection of vignettes. All of the stories appeared originally in
either Peck's Bad Boy, No. 1, Peck's Fun (the 1879 edition) and Peck's
Sunshine. Peck's Compendium of Fun
which was published originally by Belford, Clarke and Son in 1883
contains all the vignettes in this Peck's Fun edition plus many more.
Note that a different edition of Peck's Fun was published between 1879
and 1883. That book was compiled by V. W. Richardson and has different
vignettes.
The first edition of the 1886 Peck's Fun was published by Belford,
Clarke and Company and was edited by Thomas Handford (Elmo).
