Summary "Peck's Sunshine" by George W. Peck is a humorous collection of articles written in the late 19th century, originally published for the Milwaukee-based paper Peck's Sun. The text offers a series of light-hearted essays that provide comedic commentary on various aspects of society, ranging from observations about gender roles and medical practices, to whimsical anecdotes involving animals and everyday life. At the start, the author humorously exclaims his innocence in creating the work, claiming that the inspiration for writing it was imposed on him by a Chicago publisher. He conveys a delight in sharing jovial tales and anecdotes designed to uplift readers and induce laughter. Characters introduced include those debating the merits of female doctors, a father reluctantly buying a goat, and various unfortunate situations involving societal norms and expectations. The opening portion effectively sets the tone for a collection rich in wit and societal critique, blended with absurdity and charm. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
