Five Little Peppers and How They Grew
Margaret Sidney (Harriett Mulford Stone Lothrop) · D. Lothrop and Company (Boston) · 1880
The book is commonly cited as 1881, which is the date later Lothrop printings carry on the copyright page, but the true first edition/first printing has a copyright page dated 1880, consistent with its Wide Awake serialization and D. Lothrop's practice of rushing holiday juveniles into print before year's end.
