Celebrate 125 years of Peter Rabbit in this stunning anniversary collection featuring three classic tales.
Once upon a time, there were four little rabbits and their names were Flopsy, Mopsy, Cotton-tail, and Peter.
In this beautiful story collection, discover three much-loved Peter Rabbit adventures—The Tale of Peter Rabbit, The Tale of Benjamin Bunny, and The Tale of Mrs. Tiggy-winkle—by Beatrix Potter.
Since his first appearance in 1902, this mischievous little rabbit has hopped into the hearts of generations of book lovers. Brimming with gorgeous illustrations, sweet storytelling, and gentle nostalgia, this hardcover collection is a must-have for every young reader's library.
Beatrix Potter was born on July 28, 1866, at No. 2, Bolton Gardens, Kensington, London. Beatrix Potter discovered her love of nature on annual summer holidays in Scotland and the Lake District.
On September 4, 1893, Beatrix sat down to write a picture letter to Noel Moore, the five-year-old son of her ex-governess, all about a naughty rabbit called Peter. Noel was ill in bed and so Beatrix wrote to him: "My dear Noel, I don't know what to write to you, so I shall tell you a story about four little rabbits. . . . "
Some years later, Beatrix thought of publishing the story as a book. She rewrote it into an exercise book and sent it to six publishers. It was rejected by every one of them. It was not until Beatrix had printed the book herself that Frederick Warne agreed to publish it. The Tale of Peter Rabbit was published in 1902, costing one shilling (the equivalent of just 5 pence today), and became one of the most famous stories ever written.
Many of Beatrix's later books were set at Hill Top—the rats that infested the farm inspired The Tale of Samuel Whiskers, Tom Kitten and his sisters climb up the rockery wall at the bottom of Hill Top garden, and Ginger and Pickles.View titles by Beatrix Potter
