Dust jacket notes: "On September 4th, 1893 Beatrix Potter wrote a picture letter to five-year old Noel Moore which began: 'My dear Noel, I don't know what to write to you, so I shall tell you a story about four little rabbits whose names were Flopsy, Mopsy, Cotton-tail and Peter.' Eight years later, in 1901 Beatrix Potter privately published an illustrated story called The Tale of Peter Rabbit, which was based on this letter. It was taken up by a commercial publisher within a year and became a bestseller.
