The tale of Peter Rabbit - Beatrix Potter

A royal edition of The Tale of Peter Rabbit featuring a new specially designed cover.

This beautiful special edition of Beatrix Potter's classic tale commemorates children's book royalty Peter Rabbit in the year of the birth of our future king. Inspired by the arrival of Prince George of Cambridge, this elegant new cover design is a princely treat for Peter Rabbit fans both young and old.

Beatrix Potter is one of the world's best-loved children's authors of all time. From her first book, The Tale of Peter Rabbit (1902) she went on to create a series of stories based around animal characters including Mrs Tiggy-winkle, Mr Jeremy Fisher and Tom Kitten. Her humorous, lively tales and beautiful illustrations have become a natural part of childhood.

A source of inspiration was the Lake District where she lived for the last thirty years of her life as a farmer and conservationist.
