Peter Rabbit Stories, The: Deluxe Edition With 77 New Colour

This collection brings together in a single volume the four books that feature the famous young rabbit with the blue jacket and a penchant for mischief and disobedience: The Tale of Peter Rabbit, The Tale of Benjamin Bunny, The Tale of the Flopsy Bunnies and The Tale of Mr Tod. From Peter's early adventures in the kitchen garden of Mr McGregor to his late exploits in the rescue of his cousin Benjamin's baby bunnies, these stories show why Beatrix Potter remains one of the most beloved children's authors this country has ever produced. Review: Currey's rabbits are charming - and certainly offer a more 'modern' and 'novelty' look than the originals. * The Beatrix Potter Society * Author Biography: Beatrix Potter (1866-1943) was a children's writer and illustrator. Hugely successful in her lifetime, her books continue to be immensely popular among young readers of today. Anna Currey was brought up in rural Ireland. Her parents, being rather alternative, didn't believe in formal education, so while her chemistry and algebra lessons were rather scanty, her absorption in drawing animals and people was allowed full rein. This fascination carried through until adulthood and suitably enough resulted in a career in children's books. Over the years she has illustrated many books for many publishers including One Ted fell out of Bed by Julia Donaldson. She also wrote and illustrated The Christmas Unicorn for Oxford children's Books. She now lives in England near to very wonderful city of Bath.
