Henry "Hennery" Peck, popularly known as Peck's Bad Boy, is a fictional character created by George Wilbur Peck (1840–1916). First appearing in the 1883 novel Peck's Bad Boy and His Pa, the Bad Boy has appeared in numerous print, stage, and film adaptations. The character is portrayed as a mischievous prankster, and the phrase "Peck's bad boy" has entered the language to refer to anyone whose mischievous or bad behavior leads to annoyance or embarrassment. Described as "a vicious little swaggerer" and "no more than a callous brute", Hennery's antics were more mean-spirited than those of earlier boyhood characters like Huckleberry Finn, and modern criticism views the violence and racism in the original stories as objectionable or politically incorrect. The inspiration for Hennery—the Bad Bo

First appearing in the 1883 novel Peck's Bad Boy and His Pa, the Bad Boy has appeared in numerous print, stage, and film adaptations.

The inspiration for Hennery—the Bad Boy—came from Edward James Watson, who was a telegraph messenger boy that Peck met in the early 1880s. Apparently Watson thought up many of the stories used by Peck. Mr Watson had in his possession a letter from Peck "To my friend E. J. Watson, who, as a boy, gave me the first idea that culminated in the Peck's Bad Boy Series". (en)
- Peck's Bad Boy (soprannome di Henry "Hennery" Peck) è un personaggio immaginario di ragazzino burlone e dispettoso, creato dallo scrittore statunitense George Wilbur Peck (1840-1916). Apparso per la prima volta nel romanzo del 1883 , il personaggio diventa il protagonista negli anni e decenni successivi in una serie di racconti dello scrittore e quindi in numerosi adattamenti teatrali e cinematografici. A detta dello scrittore, l'ispirazione per Hennery, venne da Edward James Watson, un fattorino del telegrafo che Peck incontrò all'inizio del 1880 e che "come ragazzino mi ha dato la prima idea che è culminata nella serie di Peck's Bad Boy". Nei racconti di Peck il personaggio è ritratto come un burlone malizioso, e la frase "Peck's Bad Boy" è entrata nella lingua inglese per riferirsi a chiunque il cui comportamento malizioso o cattivo porti fastidio o imbarazzo. Descritto come "un vizioso spaccone" e "non più di un insensibile bruto", le buffonate di Hennery erano più meschine di quelle di altri personaggi della prima infanzia come Huckleberry Finn, e la critica moderna vi vede elementi di violenza e razzismo. Gli adattamenti cinematografici offrono in genere un ritratto più edulcorato e simpatetico del personaggio, affidandone l'interpretazione ad attori bambini famosi, come Jackie Coogan (1921), Jackie Cooper (1934) e (1938).
