The Tale of Peter Rabbit has been published for the first time more than 110 years ago but has never been out of print. It tells the story of a mischievous little bunny who disobeys his mother and gets into serious trouble in the garden of terrible Mr McGregor. The little rabbit named after the author’s pet became one of the most popular children’s heroes of all time and his story is still one of the most well-loved books of Beatrix Potter.
Over a hundred years, an English girl called Beatrix Potter wrote a story in a letter to the son of a friend, a boy named Noel. Everyone liked both the story and the drawings of Beatrix that she ended up writing a book that became known worldwide. After this over twenty books followed, all with stories of animals, and have become so admired that from then until now have never been out of print.
