Beatrix Potter is one of the world’s best-loved children’s authors, capturing our imagination for over 100 years with her beautifully illustrated Tales. However, few people are aware of the fascinating woman that Beatrix was or the achievements she accomplished in her lifetime, during an era when ambitious women were not allowed to flourish. An artist, storyteller, botanist, environmentalist, farmer and businesswoman, Potter was a visionary and a trailblazer and left an incredible legacy.

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.

Since 1984 more than 150 million Beatrix Potter books have been sold around the world, whilst over 2 million Beatrix Potter books are sold every year worldwide – so one Beatrix Potter books sells somewhere in the world every 15 seconds!

A source of inspiration was the Lake District where she lived for the last thirty years of her life as a farmer and conservationist.

It is a nice size for little ones and the paper is nice

Who can resist Beatrix Potter? The soft water color illustrations along with her lovingly told stories will hold your toddler's and young child's attention. The original books were published 110 years ago. At that time Beatrix Potter had made more water color illustrations than were used in her books. In 2002 when the books were reoriginated in text and illustrations, 2 additional illustrations of Beatrix's were included in "The Tale of Peter Rabbit". I plan to give this book along with Gund's stuffed Peter Rabbit as a gift to my 1 year old grand daughter. The story appears to be about 5 minutes long, but may take longer if the little one wants to study the heart-warming illustrations. ,,The book is just the right size for a small child's hands, and to stuff into your purse. It measures 4 1/4" x 5 1/2". I highly recommend this book.

The book was smaller than expected. It was part of an Easter basket.

Traditional tale single book. With traditional illustrations. It’s the lesson of listening to mother and the great escape of a bunny that runs into the garden and is almost captured by the farmer.

This little book fits right in with my other Beatrix Potter books. Small enough to hold both your grandchild and the book on your lap while you read it to them. This particular edition is in celebration of the 110th anniversary of the first publication and has four pictures that were in the original book and then later removed and two pictures that were never in the original book. A delight for everyone.
