George Wilbur Peck (1840–1916) was an American writer and politician, best known for his humorous stories that captivated audiences in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Born in New York, Peck moved to Wisconsin as a young man and eventually entered the world of journalism, founding several newspapers including 'Peck's Sun'. His most celebrated work, 'Peck's Bad Boy and His Pa' (1883), remains a quintessential example of American humor and satire. The book chronicles the escapades of a mischievous young boy, often playing pranks and getting into trouble, much to the chagrin and amusement of his long-suffering father. Peck's stories, as seen through his 'bad boy', are marked by their distinctive blend of wit and a gentle mockery of societal norms, reflecting the essence of everyday life with a comedic touch. The success of this work led to a series of books featuring the 'bad boy', which contributed significantly to Peck's reputation as a master of the humorous short story genre. His literary style is characterized by a folksy yet sharp narrative that resonates with both young and adult readers, providing a window into the cultural landscape of his time. Aside from his literary contributions, Peck also served as the 17th Governor of Wisconsin, bringing his wit and candor into the political arena.
