Excerpt from The Peterkin Papers Mrs. Peterkin shrank from this; it would make the whole matter more public than ever. Mr. Peterkin asked if she would prefer a book of their adventures she declared that she would, for there would be the covers, which would seem to shut it up, and make the matter less public. Mr. Peterkin thought a book might contain other adventures of the family. Solomon John would have written a book before now, if he had known what to write. Ty not mention that fact? The history of their troubles with keys would explain in part the difficulty of get ting into their own house the night of the Car nival, for if Agamemnon's invention of one key alone necessary, had been patented, they would have been saved this perplexity.

The Lady from Philadelphia records the antics of the most memorably and hopelessly bumbling of respectable American families. Confronted by the endless challenges of daily life, the Peterkins rise to every occasion with misguided aplomb: They sit out in the sun for hours and fail to go for a ride because they’ve forgotten to unhitch the horse; they play the piano from the porch through the parlor window because the movers left the keyboard turned that way; they decide to raise the ceiling to accommodate a too-tall Christmas tree. Only the timely intervention of their great and good friend, the lady from Philadelphia, can be counted on to get the Peterkins out of their latest scrape. A classic of American children’s literature and a masterpiece of deadpan drollery, The Lady from Philadelphia restores our astonishment at the ordinary, finding a rich vein of humor and happy surprise in the mere fact of our surviving the trivialities and tribulations of family life.
