The complete text and illustrations of Beatrix Potter's first privately printed edition of the children's classic is accompanied by the letter in which Peter first appeared, a publishing history of his book, and color reproductions of the original artwork.
Having just visited Hilltop a few short weeks ago, I was thrilled when a colleague of my husband's found this adorable little book at an auction! It a very short book, but filled with fascinating bits of history surrounding the initial publishing of Peter Rabbit. I don't imagine there are many copies of this book around so am excited to be able to add it to my personal library.
