About
Beatrix Potter's tales of the animal inhabitants of the Lake District countryside in which she lived started with the simple story of a naughty rabbit, written for a young friend. It was eventually published nine years later in 1902 as The Tale of Peter Rabbit, accompanied by her watercolor illustrations. Its success led to the publishing of a further twenty-two books in the series over the next three decades.
The creatures detailed lead period-correct lives, with many of them having jobs in the animal society that mimic the society Beatrix was living in. Her stories rarely shy away from showing the dangers of the wider world that the inhabitants find themselves in, and similarly they rarely end on a completely happy note. But despite this they have remained globally popular over the last century with both children and parents alike.
This collection comprises the twenty-two Tale books in the U.S. public domain.
Perfect for readers who cherish timeless children's literature and enchanting animal adventures! These beloved tales combine Potter's exquisite watercolor illustrations with delightful stories of mischievous rabbits, clever mice, and other memorable woodland characters that have captivated generations of young readers.
