O ovoj e-knjizi

The writer Beatrix Potter was an author and woman ahead of her time, leaving humanity a literary production that transcends any temporal sphere. The literary world developed by Beatrix Potter a century ago still reflects contemporary trends; her characters could perfectly be the result of the most modern visual and textual arsenal of modern times. From the pages of her books spring mischievous little rabbits; elderly, sprightly mice full of cunning, reminiscent of the grandmothers or great-grandmothers every reader has known; devious cats that provoke suspicion... The Tale of Peter Rabbit is her most well-known work.
The simple story of a naughty little rabbit who, by disobeying his mother, gets into serious trouble but eventually reaches a happy ending filled with lessons learned. It is a charming little story, beautifully illustrated by the author herself.
