The Bad Boy was not conjured
out of whole cloth by George W. Peck.
During the last third of the nineteenth century there were a number of
Bad Boy books published. The "Bad Boy" behavior in these stories ranged
from mild to moderate. Peck and Aldrich's books are by far the most
well known but the others certainly bear discussion.
Appreciate that the Non Peck / Non Aldrich Bad Boy books are quite
scarce.
