"That Naughty Rabbit: Beatrix Potter and Peter Rabbit" by Judy Taylor, 1987

$12.00

First published privately by the author in 1901, Peter Rabbit was accepted for wider publication the following year, after the author was persuaded to redo the illustrations in color--and it has never been out of print since. Beatrix Potter's own story begins with a small girl's devotion to her pet rabbit and ends with her bequest of extensive areas of Britain's Lake District to the National Trust, land which she had bought with the royalties from "that naughty rabbit.”
