Beatrix Potter's tales were often connected with real places, people, or animals, so each story also includes a brief introductory note about its history. The stories are arranged in the order in which they were first published to enable them to be read in the proper sequence, from A Tale of Peter Rabbit to The Tale of Little Pig Robinson. All the original illustrations, both color and black and white, are included. This deluxe volume collects all of Beatrix Potter's 23 Peter Rabbit tales and verses together-complete and unabridged-in one book. "I cannot draw you a picture of Peter and Benjamin underneath the basket," writes Beatrix Potter in The Tale of Benjamin Bunny, "because it was quite dark, and because the smell of onions was fearful it made Peter Rabbit and little Benjamin cry." Beatrix Potter's animal stories, the first of which was published in 1902, have been a joy to generations of young readers.
