The Tale of Benjamin Bunny

A story retold from The Tale of Benjamin Bunny, by Beatrix Potter

Beatrix Potter wrote this story in 1904, a sequel to her famous Tale of Peter Rabbit. Benjamin Bunny is Peter's cousin, and together they sneak into Mr. McGregor's garden to fetch Peter's lost clothes — and get into trouble along the way. Potter's stories have been loved by children for over a century because they mix adventure, gentle humour, and the real consequences of mischief. This text reflects its era; a few period terms have been modernised.
