Readers
are invited to celebrate Peter Rabbit's 120th birthday with this brand-new
picture book edition of the original tale. This new, large format is perfect to
for families to share and read all about Peter Rabbit's very first adventure.
Peter Rabbit has been an icon of children's literature, starring in everything
from books to toys to films! This original tale sees Peter at his most
adventurous, cheekiest, and lovable self as he wriggles into Mr. McGregor's
garden - and into reader's hearts.
Beatrix Potter's original text appears here in full, along with her beautifully
engaging illustrations in a new format, perfect to introduce children to this
famous rabbit.
A little girl in Victorian England, Beatrix was
taught at home by governesses and studied art while her brother was sent away
to school. She was a shy, reserved personality when interacting with the
outside world, but her secret diary written in her own code, revealed a lively
young girl with highly critical opinions of her fellow artists.
Despite not going to school Beatrix was an enthusiastic student of nature,
teaching herself while painting and drawing the things she saw around her. Her
childhood sketches reveal an early fascination for the subject which would
continue throughout her life. She also painted many exquisite landscapes that
show her pleasure in the countryside.
