About the Author

Beatrix Potter loved the countryside and spent much of her childhood drawing and studying animals. The Tale of Peter Rabbit¸ published in 1902, was her first book, expanded from an illustrated letter she had sent to a young friend. Beatrix Potter went on to publish more than 20 tales and collections of rhymes.

Editorial Reviews

Since the early 1900s, Beatrix Potter's twenty-three little volumes featuring rabbits, mice, frogs, and other creatures have delighted children. Her first story, The Tale of Peter Rabbit, was an instant success. While Potter's clothed animals appear precious, the characters are in fact quite mischievous and get into scrapes that children can easily identify with. The timeless quality of Potter's stories ensures that her books will entertain generations of readers to come.
