THE STORY OF MISS MOPPETThe Story of Miss Moppet, together with The Story of A Fierce Bad Rabbit, were books intended especially for very young children and they were originally published in a pull-out concertina format. They were subsequently reissued as standard books however, since the long strip of pictures became damaged too easily. Beatrix Potter borrowed a kitten to draw for the illustrations of Miss Moppet and the kitten proved to be as mischievous as the character she was meant to portray. Beatrix called her "a most fearful pickle".Suitable for very young children, this title recounts the tale of a pussy cat, Miss Moppet, chasing a mouse. It turns out to be a bit of a battle of wits, and who do you think will win?

Beatrix Potter described The Tailor of Gloucester as her own favourite among her books. It was based on the true story of a tailor who once left the unsewn pieces of a coat in his shop and then found that the garment had been mysteriously finished for him in the night.

He has an important commission to complete for a wedding on Christmas Day but is ill and tired, and before long is running out of food and thread, as well as time!

A sign of the future success of this little story, these first copies sold very quickly at a shilling each, meaning she quickly had to print another 200 two weeks later. The Tale of Peter RabbitThe Tale of Peter Rabbit was published by Frederick Warne & Co. in 1902 with an initial 8000 copies printed and the tale has never been out of print since.

One critic points out that the faces of the rabbits are expressionless whereas another argues that the cock of an ear or the position of a tail conveys what the faces lack. One critic believes the story lacks the vitality of the story of Peter Rabbit that sprang from an image and story letter to a baby. Most agree though that the depictions of the garden are exquisite and a few of the best illustrations Potter created.

Pirates, Buccaneers, Marooners, those cruel but picturesque sea wolves who once infested the Spanish Main, all live in present-day conceptions in great degree as drawn by the pen and pencil of Howard Pyle.Pyle, artist-author, living in the latter half of the nineteenth century and the first decade of the twentieth, had the fine faculty of transposing himself into any chosen period of history and making its people flesh and blood again—not just historical puppets. His characters were sketched with both words and picture; with both words and picture he ranks as a master, with a rich personality which makes his work individual and attractive in either medium.He was one of the founders of present-day American illustration, and his pupils and grand-pupils pervade that field to-day. While he bore no such important part in the world of letters, his stories are modern in treatment, and yet widely read. His range included historical treatises concerning his favorite Pirates (Quaker though he was); fiction, with the same Pirates as principals; Americanized version of Old World fairy tales; boy stories of the Middle Ages, still best sellers to growing lads; stories of the occult, such as In Tenebras and To the Soil of the Earth, which, if newly published, would be hailed as contributions to our latest cult.In all these fields Pyle's work may be equaled, surpassed, save in one. It is improbable that anyone else will ever bring his combination of interest and talent to the depiction of these old-time Pirates, any more than there could be a second Remington to paint the now extinct Indians and gun-fighters of the Great West.Important and interesting to the student of history, the[xii] adventure-lover, and the artist, as they are, these Pirate stories and pictures have been scattered through many magazines and books. Here, in this volume, they are gathered together for the first time, perhaps not just as Mr. Pyle would have done, but with a completeness and appreciation of the real value of the material which the author's modesty might not have permitted.Merle Johnson.

New edition of The Basket of FlowersIn putting forward a new edition of The Basket of Flowers no apology is needed. This charming story is now something of a children's classic, and the only merits that the publisher can claim for the present edition are variety in the manner of the illustration and the outward design of the book. To these may be added, perhaps, the further claim that in the present English version, which is copyright, some of the more glaring faults that mar the original translation are avoided. For the rest, it is hoped that the charm of the original has been maintained.
