About the book

Beatrix Potter's The Tale of Peter Rabbit follows the mischievous young rabbit Peter as he ignores his mother's warning and ventures into Mr McGregor's garden. His attempt to feast on vegetables quickly becomes a frantic escape through unfamiliar and dangerous surroundings. Simple, humorous and beautifully observed, the story combines childhood disobedience, adventure and the natural world in one of the most enduring classics of children's literature.
