Description



This complete and unabridged collection contains all 23 of Beatrix Potter’s Tales in one deluxe volume with all their original illustrations.  The stories are arranged in the order in which they were first published so they may be read in their proper sequence.  A special section at the end of this volume contains four additional works by Beatrix Potter that were not published during her lifetime.  Beautifully reissued with a newly designed slipcase and jacket—a truly stunning gift.


Written and illustrated by Beatrix Potter (1866-1943).  Her passion for the natural world lay behind the creation of her famous tales.  A particular source of inspiration was the Lake District where she lived for the last thirty years of her life as a farmer and conservationist.
