Book description
This original, authorised version has been lovingly recreated
electronically for the first time, with reproductions of Potter's
unmistakeable artwork optimised for use on colour devices such as the
iPad.
The Tale of Peter Rabbit was first published by Frederick
Warne in 1902 and endures as Beatrix Potter's most popular and
well-loved tale. Re-originated in 2002 to mark the centenary of
publication bringing it closer to the original edition, six
illustrations were restored, four that were removed in 1903 to make
room for endpapers and two that have never been used before, Beatrix
having initially prepared more illustrations than could be
accommodated in the original format.
Written and illustrated by Beatrix Potter (1866-1943). Her passion
for the natural world lay behind the creation of her famous little
books. A particular source of inspiration was the Lake District where
she lived for the last thirty years of her life as a farmer and
conservationist.
