Description

A stunning gift edition to celebrate 125 years of The Tale of Peter Rabbit.

Celebrate 125 years since the first publication of The Tale of Peter Rabbit with this beautiful gift edition of the much-loved classic.

Once upon a time, there were four little rabbits, and their names were — Flopsy, Mopsy, Cotton-tail, and Peter.

Peter's daring adventure in Mr. McGregor's garden has captured the imaginations of generations of children, and Peter Rabbit is one of the most iconic and recognisable children's characters of today.

In this special anniversary edition, Beatrix Potter's classic little white book format has been given a bespoke clothbound cover design and includes an extra signature of material with a new foreword and the story behind Beatrix Potter's beloved classic.

About the Author

Beatrix Potter is one of the world's best-loved children's authors of all time. From her first book, The Tale of Peter Rabbit (1902) she went on to create a series of stories based around animal characters including Mrs Tiggy-winkle, Mr Jeremy Fisher and Tom Kitten. Her humorous, lively tales and beautiful illustrations have become a natural part of childhood. A source of inspiration was the Lake District where she lived for the last thirty years of her life as a farmer and conservationist.
