Peck’s Bad Boy and His Pa- Geo Routledge and Sons, Limited

In about 1934 or 1935 Routledge published Peck’s Bad Boy. On the dust jacket it says “The Book of the Film”. The jacket even pictures Jackie Cooper who had starred in the 1934 Peck’s Bad Boy film. The book however has no relationship to the movie but is rather a reprint of Peck’s Bad Boy and His Pa. There are two differences between this version and the previous ones by the American publishers. Chapter III. The Boy Gives His Pa Away is omitted and there are no illustrations. This format only has 160 pages as compared to the earlier American books with 196 pages. The difference in pages however is not just the absent chapter but also the smaller font in the Routledge book.
