The Tale of Peter Rabbit "Now, my dears," said old Mrs. Rabbit one morning, "you may go into the fields or down the lane, but don't go into Mr. McGregor's garden." Beatrix Potter loved the countryside and she spent much of her otherwise conventional Victorian childhood drawing and studying animals. Her passion for the natural world lay behind the creation of her famous series of little books. A particular source of inspiration was the English Lake District where she lived for the last thirty years of her life as a farmer and land conservationist. The Tale of Peter Rabbit, published in 1902, was her first book, expanded from an illustrated letter she had sent to a young friend who was ill. One hundred years later the classic tale of naughty Peter Rabbit's escape from Mr. McGregor's garden still brings to children all over the world the pleasure that it gave to its very first reader. |
|
|
The Tale of Squirrel Nutkin But Nutkin sat upon a big flat rock, and played ninepins with a crap apple. The Tale of Squirrel Nutkin is set on Derwentwater, and is based on an American story about squirrels travelling on little rafts, using their bushy tails as sails. Squirrel Nutkin sails across the lake with his cousins to gather nuts on Owl Island, where his impudence to Old Brown the owl leads him into serious trouble. |
|
|
Tailor of Gloucester Out stepped a little live lady mouse, and made a curtsey to the tailor! Beatrix Potter loved the countryside and she spent much of her otherwise conventional Victorian childhood drawing and studying animals. Her passion for the natural world lay behind the creation of her famous series of little books. She described The Tailor of Gloucester as her own favourite among her books. It was based on the true story of a tailor who once left the unsewn pieces of a coat in his shop and then found that the garment had been mysteriously finished for him in the night. Although it turned out the real tailor's assistants were his apprentices, in Beatrix Potter's version of the story the secret helpers are skilful little brown mice who save the kindhearted tailor from disaster. |
|
|
The Tale of Benjamin Bunny "Peter," – said little Benjamin, in a whisper – "who has got your clothes?" The Tale of Benjamin Bunny continues the story of Beatrix Potter's first and most popular book, The Tale of Peter Rabbit. Peter once again ventures into the forbidden territory of Mr. McGregor's garden, but this time in the company of his reckless young cousin Benjamin. |
|
|
The Tale of Two Bad Mice Hunca Munca has got the cradle. Beatrix Potter loved the countryside and she spent much of her otherwise conventional Victorian childhood drawing and studying animals. Her passion for the natural world lay behind the creation of her famous series of little books. She often based her stories on real places or creatures. For The Tale of Two Bad Mice she used her own two pet mice, Tom Thumb and Hunca Munca, as models for the principle characters. The doll's-house belonged to a little girl who was her publisher's niece. But the story of what happens when two mischievous mice invade an elegant doll's-house is entirely imaginary. |
|
|
The Tale of Mrs Tiggy-winkle "That's a pair of mittens belonging to Tabby Kitten; I only have to iron them; she washes them herself." As a child Beatrix Potter had known a charming old Scottish country washerwoman called Kitty MacDonald. In The Tale of Mrs. Tiggy-Winkle the heroine, Lucie, meets a similar small, round, twinkly-eyed washerwoman; but this one has prickles under her cap and does the laundry for some surprising customers. |
|
|
The Tale of Mr Jeremy Fisher But Mr. Jeremy liked getting his feet wet; nobody ever scolded him, and he never caught a cold! The Tale of Mr. Jeremy Fisher, like Peter Rabbit, began life as an illustrated letter to a young child. It was written when she was on holiday in Scotland where her father and his friends enjoyed fishing expeditions. Mr. Jeremy has a day full of the worst fisherman's mishaps when he sets out to catch minnows for his dinner. |
|
|
The Tale of Tom Kitten Beatrix Potter had owned her first Lake District farm, Hill Top in the village of Near Sawrey, for a year when she began work on The Tale of Tom Kitten. She shows Tom and his sisters living in the farmhouse and getting into mischief amongst the flowers of the beautiful cottage garden that she had created herself. |
|
|
The Tale of Jemima Puddle-duck "Ah! Is that so? Indeed!" said the gentleman with sandy whiskers, looking curiously at Jemima. The first farm that Beatrix Potter owned was called Hill Top and she used it and its Lakeland surroundings in The Tale of Jemima Puddle-Duck. Jemima was a real Hill Top duck who wasn't good at hatching eggs and Beatrix Potter's favourite sheepdog, Kep, features as the wise friend who rescues Jemima from the deceptively charming sandy-whiskered gentleman. |
|
|
The Tale of Flopsy Bunnies It is said that the effect of eating too much lettuce is "soporific". This tale is set in the beautiful gardens of Gwaynynog, in North Wales, and Beatrix Potter brings back Peter Rabbit and Benjamin Bunny, two of her most popular characters. By now the two rabbits have grown up and Benjamin is married to Peter's Sister Flopsy. But danger still exists in Mr. McGregor's garden and it threatens Benjamin's children, the six little Flopsy Bunnies. |
|
|
The Tale of Mrs Tittlemouse First she fell asleep in her chair, and then she went to bed. "Will it ever by tidy again?" said poor Mrs. Tittlemouse. Beatrix Potter loved the countryside and she spent much of her otherwise conventional Victorian childhood drawing and studying animals. Her passion for the natural world lay behind the creation of her famous series of little books. In her youth she made beautiful microscopic studies of insects, working at the newly-built Natural History Museum in London. Many years later she was able to use these in her illustrations for The Tale of Mrs. Tittlemouse. Mrs. Tittlemouse, the wood-mouse who helped to rescue the Flopsy Bunnies in an earlier book, was given her own story in 1910, and Beatrix Potter created delightful pictures of all the uninvited insect guests, from spiders to bees, found in Mrs. Tittlemouse's underground home. |
|
|
The Tale of Timmy Tiptoes Then Timmy Tiptoes came out, and went home with an umbrella. By 1911, when Beatrix Potter was preparing The Tale of Timmy Tiptoes for publication, her books were already well known in America. The new story aimed to appeal directly to her many American fans and featured animals of American origin, grey squirrels, chipmunks and a black bear, all living happily in the Lake District woods. |
|
|
The Tale of Johnny Town-mouse One place suits one person, another place suits another person. For my part I prefer to live in the country, like Timmy Willie. The Tale of Johnny Town-Mouse is based on an Aesop Fable, but Beatrix Potter sets the story in the Lake District. The town mouse, Johnny, lives under the floorboards of a house in Hawkshead, and the country mouse, Timmy Willie, in a cottage garden. As she confesses at the end, the author's sympathies lie with the country mouse. |
|
|
The Tale of Mr Tod I have made many books about well-behaved people. Now, for a change, I am going to make a story about two disagreeable people, called Tommy Brock and Mr. Tod. The Tale of Mr. Tod brings back Beatrix Potter's most popular heroes, Peter Rabbit and Benjamin Bunny, in a new adventure that also features two particularly "disagreeable" villains. Fortunately Tommy Brock the badger and Mr. Tod the fox dislike each other so much that when Tommy Brock kidnaps Benjamin's young family, Mr. Tod unwittingly becomes the rabbits' ally. |
|
|
The Tale of Pigling Bland Over the hills and far away she danced with Pigling Bland! The Tale of Pigling Bland was published in 1912, the year Beatrix Potter married and settled down to farming life for good. But she had already been keeping pigs and she sketched them for this story, using her own farmyard as the setting. One little black pig was a household pet and features as the "perfectly lovely" Pig-wig who runs away with Pigling Bland. |
|
|
The Tale of Samuel Whiskers Or the Roly-poly Pudding Tom Kitten bit and spat, and mewed and wriggled; and the rolling-pin went roly-poly, roly. The first farm that Beatrix Potter owned, Hill Top, was an old house with many hiding places for the rats and mice against which she waged a constant battle. In The Tale of Samuel Whiskers this farmhouse is Tom Kitten's home and the story tells what happens when Tom accidentally comes upon the rat Samuel Whiskers living in a secret hideout behind the attic walls. |
|
|
The Tale of the Pie & the Patty-pan "Why shouldn't I rush along and put my pie into Ribby's oven when Ribby isn't there?" Beatrix Potter bought her first farm, Hill Top, in the village of Near Sawrey, in 1905 and The Tale of the Pie and The Patty-Pan, published in that year, features the houses, gardens and streets of the village. However the inhabitants are animals, with very particular tastes in food, and problems arise when Ribby the cat invites Duchess the dog to tea. |
|
|
The Tale of Ginger & Pickles The customers came in crowds every day and bought quantities, especially the toffee customers. Beatrix Potter was living in the Lake District village of Near Sawrey when The Tale of Ginger and Pickles was published and the villagers were delighted to recognise many familiar views in it. Beatrix Potter's fans also enjoyed seeing old friends from previous books among the customers in Ginger and Pickles' shop, including Peter Rabbit and his sisters. |
|
|
The Tale of Little Pig Robinson Robinson had the most peculiar adventures that ever happened to a pig. The Tale of Little Pig Robinson was the last of Beatrix Potter's stories to be published in the Peter Rabbit series but it was one of the first she ever wrote. Its setting is a mixture of various English seaside towns where she had stayed on holiday when she was young. In Falmouth harbour she had once seen a pig on board a ship, and this image inspired the adventure of Pig Robinson who travels from a Devon farm to the land where the Bong tree grows. |

The Story of a Fierce Bad Rabbit The bad Rabbit would like some carrot. He doesn't say "Please." He takes it! The Story of A Fierce Bad Rabbit, together with The Story of Miss Moppet, were books intended especially for very young children and they were originally published in a pull-out concertina format. They were subsequently reissued as standard books however, since the long strip of pictures became damaged too easily. The character of the Fierce Bad Rabbit was created at the request of a small girl, who complained that Peter Rabbit was much too good and she wanted a story about a really naughty rabbit. |
|
|
The Story of Miss Moppet The Story of Miss Moppet, together with The Story of A Fierce Bad Rabbit, were books intended especially for very young children and they were originally published in a pull-out concertina format. They were subsequently reissued as standard books however, since the long strip of pictures became damaged too easily. Beatrix Potter borrowed a kitten to draw for the illustrations of Miss Moppet and the kitten proved to be as mischievous as the character she was meant to portray. Beatrix called her "a most fearful pickle". |

Appley Dapply's Nursery Rhymes You know the old woman who lived in a shoe? Beatrix Potter gathered material for a book of rhymes over many years. In 1917, when her publisher was in financial difficulties and needed her help, she suggested that Appley Dapply's Nursery Rhymes could be brought out quickly, using her existing collection of rhymes and drawings. The fact that the illustrations were painted at different times explains why their style varies. |
|
|
Cecily Parsley's Nursery Rhymes We have a little garden, Cecily Parsley's Nursery Rhymes, published in 1922, is a sequel to Beatrix Potter's first rhyme collection Appley Dapply's Nursery Rhymes. Like the previous book it contains material she had produced and collected over a period of many years. The Cecily Parsley sequence of illustrations, for example, were first made into a little booklet twenty-five years earlier in 1897. |
