Peter Rabbit, the mischievous and rebellious young fellow, is the hero of many a tale, along with his more well-mannered sisters Flopsy, Mopsy and Cotton-tail.

The stories sparkle with Beatrix Potter’s endearing ability to tell a tale, holding your attention with her whimsical way of speech, and quaint Victorian style stories. Other memorable characters include Squirrel Nutkin, who is a most impertinent fellow, Peter Rabbit’s cousin Benjamin Bunny, two bad mice, Mrs. Tiggy-Winkle and Tailor Simpkin, a frog called Mr. Jeremy Fisher, and many more. The stories are a mixture of moral fables, fascinating descriptions of nature, and Victorian childhood naughtiness.
