This original, authorised version has been lovingly recreated electronically for the first time, with reproductions of Potter's unmistakeable artwork optimised for use on colour devices such as the iPad. The Tale of Peter Rabbit was first published by Frederick Warne in 1902 and endures as Beatrix Potter's most popular and well-loved tale. Re-originated in 2002 to mark the centenary of publication bringing it closer to the original edition, six illustrations were restored, four that were removed in 1903 to make room for endpapers and two that have never been used before, Beatrix having initially prepared more illustrations than could be accommodated in the original format.

The Tale of Peter Rabbit is a British children's book written by Beatrix Potter that follows mischievous and disobedient young Peter Rabbit as he is chased about the garden of Mr. McGregor. He escapes and returns home to his mother, who puts him to bed after dosing him with tea. The tale was written for five-year-old Noel Moore, son of Potter's former governess Annie Carter Moore, in 1893. It was revised and privately printed by Potter in 1901 after several publishers' rejections, but was printed in a trade edition by Frederick Warne & Co. in 1902. The book was a success, and multiple reprints were issued in the years immediately following its debut. It has been translated into 36 languages, and, with 45 million copies sold, it is one of the best-selling books of all time.

The Tale of Peter Rabbit, a Beatrix Potter classic, beautifully voiced by the British classical composer Peter Dyson. Despite Mrs Rabbit's cautions about entering Mr McGregor's garden, her rebellious son, Peter, enters the property to snack on vegetables, only to come face to face with adversity when he is spotted by Mr McGregor.... An unforgettable tale from Potter's renowned rabbit universe!

Peter Rabbit is a naughty but very lucky bunny. When his mother is away at the grocery, he naughtily slips into Mr. McGregor's garden and almost ends up as a rabbit pie like his father did years ago. His narrow escapes and harrowing experiences in that garden make a fine tale of adventure as well as a cautionary tale to warn children not to disobey their mothers.
