A retelling with a twist of this classic fairy tale by master storyteller Beatrix Potter and illustrated by world-renowned illustrator Helen Oxenbury
Beatrix Potter (Author)
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.
