The Tales of Beatrix Potter
Heritage Collection
By Beatrix Potter · 2020
Back to CatalogueThis collection brings together Potter's short picture-story books of the early 1900s, written for children and set among animals who keep house, wear clothes, and get into trouble in the English countryside. Familiar pieces include Peter Rabbit in Mr McGregor's garden, Benjamin Bunny, Jemima Puddle-Duck, Mrs Tiggy-Winkle, Jeremy Fisher, Tom Kitten, and Squirrel Nutkin, among others. Each tale is brief, with a clear scrape and a return to order. The volume is a gathered set of animal fables, not a single novel and not a natural-history handbook.
