Three beloved tales from Beatrix Potter: The Tailor of Gloucester, The Tale of Peter Rabbit, and The Tale of Squirrel Nutkin. Complete and unabridged, beautifully illustrated in full color. A perfect gift for children and for those who remember Potter from their childhood days.
#1: The Tailor of Gloucester is about a tailor whose work on a waistcoat is finished by the grateful mice he rescues from his cat and was based on a real world incident involving a tailor and his assistants. For years, Potter declared that of all her books it was her personal favorite.
#2: The Tale of Peter Rabbit: One of the world's most beloved characters is Peter Rabbit, by Beatrix Potter. Of Mrs. Rabbit's four children, Peter is the naughty one, and he just barely escapes harrowing experiences.
Peter Rabbit was invented by Beatrix Potter. Sadly, her publisher did not copyright the book in the U.S., depriving Potter of untold amounts of royalties. In 1903 Beatrix Potter also designed and patented a Peter Rabbit doll -- making Peter Rabbit the world’s oldest licensed character.
#3: The Tale of Squirrel Nutkin is about an impertinent red squirrel named Nutkin and his narrow escape from an owl called Old Brown. The book followed Potter's hugely successful The Tale of Peter Rabbit, and was an instant hit.
Helen Beatrix Potter (28 July 1866 – 22 December 1943) was an English author, illustrator, natural scientist and conservationist best known for her imaginative children's books, featuring animals such as those in The Tale of Peter Rabbit, which celebrated the British landscape and country life.
Born into a wealthy Unitarian family, Potter, along with her younger brother Walter Bertram (1872–1918), grew up with few friends outside her large extended family. Her parents were artistic, interested in nature and enjoyed the countryside. As children, Beatrix and Bertram had numerous small animals as pets which they observed closely and drew endlessly. Summer holidays were spent away from London, in Scotland and in the English Lake District where Beatrix developed a love of the natural world which was the subject of her painting from an early age. Potter wrote 23 children's books in addition to coloring and painting books.
