NZ$ 15.00 each
Hardback
Author: Beatrix Potter
In Stock: 4
Customer Order Reference:
Cecily Parsley's Nursery Rhymes, published in 1922, is a sequel to Beatrix Potter's first rhyme collection Appley Dapply's Nursery Rhymes.
To celebrate Peter's birthday, Frederick Warne is publishing new editions of all 23 of Potter's original tales, which take the very first printings of Potter's works as their guide. The aim of these editions is to be as close as possible to Beatrix Potter's intentions while benefiting from modern printing and design techniques. The colors and details of the watercolors in the volumes are reproduced more accurately than ever before, and it has now been possible to disguise damage that has affected the artwork over the years.

Hardback
Author: Beatrix Potter
In Stock: 2
Customer Order Reference:
The Story of A Fierce Bad Rabbit, together with The Story of Miss Moppet, were books intended especially for very young children and they were originally published in a pull-out concertina format. They were subsequently reissued as standard books however, since the long strip of pictures became damaged too easily.

The character of the Fierce Bad Rabbit was created at the request of a small girl, who complained that Peter Rabbit was much too good and she wanted a story about a really naughty rabbit.

Beatrix Potter described The Tailor of Gloucester as her own favourite among her books. It was based on the true story of a tailor who once left the unsewn pieces of a coat in his shop and then found that the garment had been mysteriously finished for him in the night. Although it turned out the real tailor's assistants were his apprentices, in Beatrix Potter's version of the story the secret helpers are skilful little brown mice who save the kindhearted tailor from disaster.
