The Tale of Peter Rabbit
From The Tale of Peter Rabbit by Beatrix Potter
Beatrix Potter published The Tale of Peter Rabbit in 1902, and it became one of the best-loved animal stories in the English-speaking world. Potter wrote and illustrated her tale about a disobedient little rabbit who ventures into a dangerous garden despite his mother's warning. The story rewards bravery and cleverness while reminding children that rules exist for a reason. Potter's gentle humour and her respect for the consequences of Peter's choice have kept this tale in print for more than a century. This text reflects its era.
