The Peaceable Kingdom: An American Saga (1972) is a historical novel in two parts by Quaker author Jan de Hartog. It describes the first meeting of George Fox and Margaret Fell, the latter's conversion, and a portion of the history of colonial Pennsylvania.

The allure of the novel is in the characters' metamorphosis from self-serving often unlikable characters, to people who work for the good of others. The story shows the precedence of Quaker prison reform and social justice. It also illustrates plain speech and gives a fairly accurate portrayal of a Quaker Meeting

The Peaceable Kingdom tells the story of the Children of the Light and their Holy Experiment. Here they are many based on people who lived generation after generation, founding a new faith, seeking freedom in the New World, achieving a unique peace with the Indians, subduing the wilderness, struggling, experiencing triumphs of faith and deeds and defeats by nature and human frailty...... - from Amzon
