The Tales of Beatrix Potter

This exclusive Folio collection features 12 classic tales, including The Tale of Peter Rabbit, The Tale of Jemima Puddle-Duck and The Tale of the Flopsy Bunnies. Presented in a treasury box set that retains all the charm of Beatrix Potter’s originals, this is the perfect gift for any child.

Beatrix Potter’s tales of endearing animals with human traits have been charming children for generations. An artist, author and conservationist, Potter was a woman of prodigious and varied talents and her love of flora and fauna is evident in her beautifully detailed, evocative drawings. Discouraged from pursuing a career in science, she published her first book, The Tale of Peter Rabbit, when she was in her thirties. Forty million copies have been sold since 1902 and its success led Potter to compose and illustrate a total of 23 books.

From the adorable antics in The Tale of Squirrel Nutkin to the courage displayed in The Tale of Jemima Puddle-Duck, 12 of Potter’s best-loved stories have been selected for The Heritage Collection. Every child will delight in the tales of Jemima Puddle-Duck, Cock Robin, Mrs. Tiggy-Winkle and Peter Rabbit; in fact it’s hard to imagine childhood without the comforting presence of these and all her other delightful characters.
