The Tale of Peter Rabbit

By Beatrix Potter
Illustrated by Beatrix Potter

Beatrix Potter loved the countryside and she spent much of her otherwise conventional Victorian childhood drawing and studying animals. Her passion for the natural world lay behind the creation of her famous series of little books. The Tale of Peter Rabbit, published in 1902, was her first book and was based on an illustrated story-letter she had sent to a small boy who was ill. Over one hundred years later the classic tale of naughty Peter Rabbit's escape from Mr. McGregor's garden still brings to children all over the world the pleasure that it gave to its very first reader. This edition, published in a larger format that the original, enables the detail of Beatrix Potter's exquisite watercolours to be fully appreciated.

The Tale O Peter Kinnen

By Beatrix Potter
Illustrated by Beatrix Potter

This little book is an unique Scots version of Beatrix Potter's most beloved tale. This exciting new translation of The Tale of Peter Rabbit, with the text in Scots, was launched at the opening reception of the Society?s Eleventh International Study Conference in Birnam, Perthshire, on 16 July 2004. It is in the same format, with re-originated full color illustrations and type, as the edition published in 2002 by Frederick Warne to celebrate the first publication of the book in 1902. This translation uses words and phrases from a wide area of the language to express in Scots a child orientated version of The Tale of Peter Rabbit and includes six illustrations left out of the original 1903 editions, two of which have never before been published.

Beatrix Potter: The Complete Tales

By Beatrix Potter
Illustrated by Beatrix Potter

This deluxe volume brings all Beatrix Potter's twenty-three Peter Rabbit tales and verses together in one book. The texts are complete and unabridged and all the original illustrations, both color and black and white, are included. The stories are arranged in the order in which they were first publisheed to enable them to be read in the proper sequence for, although each story stands on its own, several are linked together by events and characters. Beatrix Potter's tales were often connected with real places, people or animals so each story has a brief introductory note about its history. The volume also includes four other works by Beatrix Potter which for one reason or another remained unpublished in her lifetime but show new facets of her talent as an illustrator and storyteller.

The world of Beatrix Potter, presented here in its entirety, is as appealing now as when it was first created over one hundred years ago.
