In this 217 page book the Red Headed Boy makes life miserable for his Uncle Ike. This is not unlike how Peck's Bad Boy tortured all the adults in his life. In 1899 the Peck's Uncle Ike and the Red Headed Boy stories were running in the Peck's Sun newspaper. The text of all the book formats of this title are identical. A picture of George W. Peck is the frontispiece. There are twenty-five full page line drawn illustrations (including the frontispiece) done by Ike Morgan. Morgan (1871-1913), a native of St. Louis, was a well known illustrator of children's books. He illustrated the Woggle-Bug Book which was written by L. Frank Baum of Wizard of Oz fame. He also worked with several New York newspapers. The first format cover has a picture of a seahorse as well as several letters on the bottom left of the chair. These are indicators that the cover was designed and illustrated by W. W. Denslow. Denslow is best known as the illustrator of the Wonderful Wizard of Oz. In the early 1900's he was the head of the illumination department for the Roycroft Press. His cover work frequently features a seahorse. ( On line description)

"Here, Uncle Ike, let me give you a nice piece of paper, twisted up beautifully, to light your pipe," said the red-headed boy, as Uncle Ike, with his long clay pipe, filled with ill-smelling tobacco, was feeling in his vest pocket for a match. "I should think nice white paper would be sweeter to light a pipe with than a greasy old match scratched on your pants," and the boy lighted a taper and handed it to the old man.
