About this ebook

From one of the world’s best-loved children’s authors: The timeless story of a mischievous bunny and a very angry gardener.
 
If there’s one thing Peter Rabbit’s mother has always told him, it’s to stay away from Mr. McGregor’s vegetable garden—or else he might end up becoming a pie like his poor father.
 
But while his obedient sisters, Flopsy, Mopsy, and Cotton-tail, go smartly down the lane to pick blueberries, Peter has ideas of his own, and he goes off snacking on tasty lettuce and radishes from Mr. McGregor’s garden. He’s about to learn that not listening to his mother can lead a young rabbit into a whole lot of trouble.
 
As it has for more than a century, The Tale of Peter Rabbit continues to enchant children throughout the world with its sweet story, gentle lessons, and beautiful illustrations.

About the author

Beatrix Potter (1866-1943) was an English children’s book writer, best known for her Peter Rabbit series. Born to a wealthy family in English, Beatrix did not go to school and instead stayed at home, spending much of her time drawing and creating stories based on animals. In her 20’s, Beatrix attempted to get her children’s book and drawings published. Finally, in 1902 her first book, The Tale of Peter Rabbit, was published, selling over 28,000 copies the first year. This series brought her fame and wealth. She went on to write 23 books. These works have had a profound impact on illustrated children’s books to this day.
