Peter is the star of Beatrix Potter’s most popular and well-loved tale, The Tale of Peter Rabbit, which was first published by Frederick Warne in 1902. It tells the story of a very mischievous rabbit and the trouble he encounters in Mr. McGregor’s vegetable garden!
Peter Rabbit’s cousin, Benjamin Bunny, has been a very popular character since this book’s first publication in 1904. In this tale we hear all about his and Peter’s adventures in Mr. McGregor’s vegetable garden, and what happens to them when they meet a cat!
When the cupboard is bare at the Flopsy Bunnies burrow, the family all have to go in search of food. They soon find some old lettuces on Mr. McGregor’s rubbish heap, but who can imagine the horrors that await them as they enjoy a nap after lunch!
A little girl called Lucie discovers a hidden home high in the hills. She knocks on the door, and meets Mrs. Tiggy-Winkle who does all the washing and ironing for the neighbouring animals. Lucie spends a lovely day helping her, but it’s only later that she realises Mrs. Tiggy-Winkle is a hedgehog!
The Tale of Tom Kitten is set in the cottage garden Beatrix created herself at Hill Top, the farm she owned near the village of Sawrey. Tom and his sisters look so smart in their new clothes. When their mother sends them outside while she waits for her visitors, she couldn’t possibly guess what kind of mess they are going to get themselves into!
Beatrix Potter’s famous tale of a naughty squirrel who loses his tail. Nutkin, his brother Twinkleberry and all his cousins make their way over to Owl Island to gather nuts, but Old Brown, the terrifying owl guardian of the island has decided he has had enough of silly Nutkin’s cheekiness!
The Tale of Mr. Jeremy Fisher endures as one of Beatrix Potter’s most popular and well-loved tales. It tells of an optimistic and slightly accident-prone frog, who sets off on a fishing expedition across the pond, only to find himself bittenon the toe by a water beetle, fighting with a stickleback, and eventually nearly being eaten by a trout!
Jemima was a real duck belonging to Beatrix Potter. All Jemima wants to do is lay her eggs in peace. At last she flies off and finds the perfect place. Little does the silly duck realise that the charming gentleman who has lent her his woodshed is busily planning a delicious meal of … roast duck!
This tale tells the story of a poor tailor trying to survive in his freezing workshop over a hard winter. He has a terribly important commission to complete before Christmas Day but is ill and tired. Luckily some very kind mice live in the dresser and set about helping the tailor with his work.
Whilst never explicitly stated, we first meet Beatrix Potter’s fox in The Tale of Jemima Puddle-Duck. Naïve Jemima believes him to be a foxy whiskered gentleman who offers her a nest at his house. Little does she know he intends to have her as roast duck. We next meet him in The Tale of Mr. Tod, in which Peter Rabbit and Benjamin Bunny must save Benjamin’s young family.
When food is scarce, Tommy Brock is partial to some rabbit pie, so he kidnaps Flopsy and Benjamin’s children. Peter Rabbit and his cousin Benjamin Bunny follow the unmistakable smell of Badger all the way to Mr. Tod’s house to rescue them. When Mr. Tod arrives a “terrific battle” ensues between him and Tommy, allowing the rabbits to escape unseen.
The first farm that Beatrix Potter owned, Hill Top, was an old house with thick walls and many hiding places for rats and mice. In this tale the farmhouse is Tom Kitten’s home and the story tells what happens when Tom accidentally comes upon the rat Samuel Whiskers living in a secret hideout behind the attic walls.
