\”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. It tells the story of a very mischievous rabbit and the trouble he encounters in Mr McGregor’s vegetable garden! 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. \”The Tale of Peter Rabbit\” is number one in \”Beatrix Potter’s\” series of 23 little books, the titles of which are as follows: \”The Tale of Peter Rabbit\”; \”The Tale of Squirrel Nutkin\”; \”The Tailor of Gloucester\”; \”The Tale of Benjamin Bunny\”; \”The Tale of Two Bad Mice\”; \”The Tale of Mrs. Tiggy-Winkle\”; \”The Tale of Mr. Jeremy Fisher\”; \”The Tale of Tom Kitten\”; \”The Tale of Jemima Puddle-Duck\”; \”The Tale of the Flopsy Bunnies\”; \”The Tale of Mrs. Tittlemouse\”; \”The Tale of Timmy Tiptoes\”; \”The Tale of Johnny Town-Mouse\”; \”The Tale of Mr.
Tod\”; \”The Tale of Pigling Bland\”;\”The Tale of Samuel Whiskers\”; \”The Tale of The Pie and the Patty-Pan\”; \”The Tale of Ginger and Pickles\”; \”The Tale of Little Pig Robinson\”; \”The Story of a Fierce Bad Rabbit\”; \”The Story of Miss Moppet\”; \”Appley Dapply’s Nursery Rhymes\”; and, \”Cecily Parsley’s Nursery Rhymes\”.
