In The Tale of Pigling Bland, an old sow sends away her eight rambunctious children. One of them, Pigling Bland gets lost in the woods and spends the night in a strange chicken-coop.

She is best known for her children's books featuring animals, such as the beloved The Tale of Peter Rabbit, which was written as a gift for the son of her former governess. Its success enabled her to commit to writing and illustrating full time, resulting in more than thirty books.

Read an Excerpt

Once upon a time there was an old pig called Aunt Pettitoes. She had eight of a family: four little girl pigs, called Cross-patch, Suck-suck, Yock-yock and Spot; and four little boy pigs, called Alexander, Pigling Bland, Chin-chin and Stumpy. Stumpy had had an accident to his tail.
