But even the best-behaved rabbit can't keep away from a fun-fair; and Peter is far from being the best-behaved rabbit. With Benjamin at his side, Peter sneaks into the fair where a roller-coaster ride of an adventure begins ... When Peter finds himself scooped up by a rather grumpy little girl and separated from his cousin he is helpless and very afraid. It takes the determined bravery of Benjamin to rescue Peter from the frightening hurly-burly of shouting stallholders and whirling rides

A new Christmas classic from a magical Dame Emma Thompson and Axel Scheffler. The story of a very lucky, very special, very grubby dog, who lives, improbably, in the Victoria and Albert Museum. Emma Thompson magically weaves the real-life tale of Jim - beloved dog of Sir Henry Cole who created the first Christmas card - with a fantastically warm and heartfelt Christmas romp, brilliantly illustrated by bestselling illustrator, Axel Scheffler. A Christmas book to treasure, and an adventure filled with high emotion, guilt, redemption, unexpected presents and a life-changing brush with royalty.

Features Peter Rabbit, his comical little cousin Benjamin Bunny, and a turkey called William. Suitable as a Christmas gift, this paperback edition comes with an audio CD.

Injustement privées de leur héritage, Elinor et Marianne Dashwood sont contraintes de quitter le Sussex pour le Devonshire, où elles sont rapidement acceptées par la bourgeoisie locale étriquée et à l'hypocrisie feutrée. L'aînée, Elinor, a dû renoncer à un amour qui semblait partagé, tandis que Marianne s'éprend bien vite du séduisant Willoughby. Si Elinor, qui représente la raison, dissimule ses peines de c?ur, sa cadette étale son bonheur au grand jour, incapable de masquer ses sentiments. Jusqu'au jour où Willoughby disparaît ...

The story follows Peter Rabbit and his cousin Benjamin Bunny as they befriend William the Turkey, who faces a grim fate as Mr. McGregor's Christmas dinner. To save him, Peter and Benjamin cleverly hide William, leading to a festive Christmas celebration filled with pickled radishes and barley cake at the Rabbit family burrow. The tale emphasizes friendship, creativity, and the spirit of Christmas.

Sneaking into Mr McGregor's garden to steal a lettuce, the naughty little rabbit finds himself in a picnic basket heading all the way to Scotland, where he meets the large but kindly Finlay McBurney, a distant cousin.
