By the time Beatrix Potter penned The Tale of Peter Rabbit, her career as a entomologist and mycologist had been firmly established, having published papers and illustrations on fungi germination and hybridisation.
But Peter Rabbit, and all of the other characters she created, are arguably for what she is best remembered. This collection of stories—including those about Tom Kitten, Squirrel Nutkin, and Benjamin Bunny—introduces Beatrix Potter's most beloved characters. Each tale acts as a moral guide for the children who read them, as the personalities of each protagonist were crafted with loving attention and room for growth.
