The Peterkin Papers is a book-length collection of humorous stories by Lucretia Peabody Hale, and is her best-known work.
The first of the Peterkin stories appeared in 1867 in a magazine named Our Young Folks, later named St. Nicholas Magazine. The series continued for nine years, and made the Peterkins a household word.
The collected stories were published in 1880 under the title The Peterkin Papers, and reprinted in 1960.
