BEATRIX POTTER Peter Rabbit Collection
We are delighted to bring you these highly detailed collectibles from the books of English author and illustrator, Beatrix Potter. Beatrix Potter was born July 28, 1866 and lived until December 22, 1943, knowing her beloved characters lived on. Her many books with their charming illustrations have helped to raise generations of children around the world, who love to hear her stories over and over, and as adults they now read them to their own children and grandchildren. Beatrix Potter stories were based on her pet rabbit Benjamin and Peter Rabbit was modelled after her bunny named Peter Piper, whom she called an affectionate companion and quiet friend.
The enduring charm of Beatrix Potter characters have ensured that her wonderful Tales are as popular today as they were over a hundred years ago. The delightful characters she created are known all over the world and have touched the lives of millions of people - after all, who hasn’t grown up with Peter Rabbit and his friends? The tale about this naughty little rabbit’s adventures in Mr. McGregor’s garden is where it all began. Perhaps her best loved story, The Tale of Peter Rabbit was the first of her books to be published, in 1902. It told the unforgettable story of Flopsy, Mopsy, Cotton-tail and Peter, which Beatrix Potter originally sent in September 1893 as a ‘picture letter’ to the son of her former governess, Noel Moore, who was unwell.
Beatrix Potter was remembered in a newspaper editorial that said: “Her greatness lies in the fact that she was able again and again to create that rare thing, a book that brings grown-ups and children together in shared delight.”
