Peter Rabbit Library

Product Information

What surprised me about these stories is how playful they are and how grisly they are at the same time. For example, you’ll read a story about a bunch of cute little chipmunks bringing gifts to an owl so they can look for nuts on his lands – and then all of a sudden a character is seconds away from literally skinning someone alive. Potter doesn’t let you forget that these are stories about animals. Animals with clothes and etiquette, yes, but animals nonetheless. In 1909, Potter returned with a degree of reluctance – due to wanting to develop other animal characters – to the rabbits that made her name and remained a favourite with her readers. She did so through the character of Benjamin Bunny, in The Tale of The Flopsy Bunnies. In this story, Benjamin has grown up and married Peter's sister Flopsy. Very 'improvident and cheerful', Flopsy and Benjamin have a large family of children called the Flopsy Bunnies. The story opens by introducing the family and the fact that eating lettuces has a sleep-inducing effect on rabbits – illustrated here with the bunnies asleep in a lettuce patch. The Tale of the Flopsy Bunnies is about baby bunnies venturing into Mr. McGregor's garden for food. There’s a lot to like about the Peter Rabbit stories. In a way, one could say that Beatrix Potter paved the way for the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Each story focuses on a different character, but every now and then an old familiar face will come in to enrich and enhance what is already a quality story. The locations and places become familiar as you read. Keep collections to yourself or inspire other shoppers! Keep in mind that anyone can view public collections—they may also appear in recommendations and other places.

There were 32 drawings for The Tale of The Flopsy Bunnies in Potter's will, which were presented to the British Museum in 1946. The group consists of 28 watercolours reproduced for the front cover and the illustrations beside the text, along with four preliminary studies for them, two of which are executed entirely in pen. They're something of an exception in the Museum's graphic collection as book illustrations have never been the focus for collecting, but such was the fame and quality of Beatrix Potter's drawings that they were gratefully accepted and have featured in two recent external exhibitions of her work. In her thirties, Potter published the highly successful children's book The Tale of Peter Rabbit and became secretly engaged to her publisher, Norman Warne, causing a breach with her parents, who disapproved of his social status. Warne died before the wedding. This is a Tale about a tail—a tail that belonged to a little red squirrel, and his name was Nutkin. Are you ready for a tall tale of tails? Squirrel Nutkin is a naughty little squirrel with absolutely no manners at all. When all the other little squirrels go over to Owl Island to collect nuts on Old Brown Owl’s land, Squirrel Nutkin thinks making fun of Mr Owl is great fun, but he might not think so for long. Goods that by reason of their nature, cannot be returned - (Items such as underwear, where the 'hygiene patch' has been removed, or cosmetics where the seal has been broken).
