Books with title The tale of Beatrix Potter: a biography

An exclusive 12-volume Folio Society edition of these classic tales, produced in time-honoured fashion, retaining all the charm of the Beatrix Potter's original. Who can fail to love Beatrix Potter's wonderful drawings and tales? Her characters are so delicately coloured, so charmingly composed and each animal is so cleverly observed and realised. Her love for animals and landscape is obvious and it is clear how much work went into every story, every drawing. This edition has been specifically designed to reproduce the spirit of the originals. A particular type of open weave cloth with traditional starch filling, not the acrylic coating of modern cloth, was sought to give each of the 12 volumes the distinctive look and feel of books of the period. From the blind-blocked impression on the cover that holds the differently shaped labels, to the gilding on the top edge of each little book, the results are beautiful, and spring the stories to life. Every child will delight in the tales of Jemima Puddle-Duck, Cock Robin, Mrs. Tiggy-Winkle and Peter Rabbit - in fact it's hard to imagine childhood without the comforting presence of these and all her delightful characters. 12 volumes. Bound in full cloth, blocked in gold with inset printed label. Top-edge gilt. Endpapers printed in an original design. 4¾" x 4½"

This story is from the original book with the illustrations that Beatrix Potter made so dear to us all.

A book that is accessible to your child to be looked at, read and re-reread, not hidden from little hands on the book shelf.
