Summary "Peck's Bad Boy Abroad" by Hon. Geo. W. Peck is a humorous travel narrative written in the early 20th century. The book follows the misadventures of the titular "bad boy," Hennery, and his father as they embark on a grand journey through foreign lands. The story captures their comedic escapades as they navigate various social encounters and cultural misunderstandings while interacting with both common folks and royalty. At the start of the book, Hennery returns home after being away at school and finds his father recovering from an operation. This sparks their upcoming travels, which Hennery humorously details to a local groceryman. As they prepare for their trip, Hennery prepares a suitcase adorned with playful labels and plans to keep his father's spirits high despite his various ailments. From this beginning, it's clear that the narrative will be filled with comedic incidents as they encounter various peculiar situations while abroad, setting the stage for a whimsical exploration of life and travel through the eyes of a mischievous young boy and his well-meaning but hapless father.
