When Beatrix Potter wrote and illustrated "The Tale of Peter Rabbit, " she had little idea how popular this story and the 22 which followed it would immediately become. Each of the 23 "Tales" has reprinted over 100 times, and in the 80 or so years since their initial publication, much of the delicate brushwork and detail has disappeared from the pictures. To remedy this, Frederick Warne has located Beatrix Potter's original artwork, and photographed it to produce these wonderful new edition of her stories. Thanks to modern printing techniques, her illustrations appear just as freshly as when they were first painted, and confirm Beatrix Potter's place as the most celebrated children's artist of the century.

"Quite simply this is an excellent book. It is well-written, with snatches of dry humour. It should be mandatory reading for anybody who keeps a dog or has intentions of so doing." -R. W. F. Poole, Daily TelegraphHow do dogs perceive the world about them? How do they see, hear, learn, relate to their owners? How large are their brains, what is their emotional makeup? Why do they suffer from stress and how can it be coped with? Over the last few years a substantial body of knowledge has been built up about the psychology of dog behavior. Combining more than twenty years of practical experience as a veterinary clinician with a personal knowledge and understanding of the latest international research, Dr. Bruce Fogle has written the most inclusive and relevant book on how the canine mind works.

The Tale of Peter Rabbit, first published in 1902, remains Beatrix Potter's most beloved story, featuring a mischievous rabbit who ventures into Mr. McGregor's vegetable garden. To celebrate its centenary, a 2002 edition restored six illustrations—four omitted in 1903 and two never before used. Potter, a cherished children's author, created a series of animal tales, including characters like Mrs. Tiggy-winkle and Jemima Puddle-duck. Her engaging stories and charming illustrations have become integral to childhood. With the proceeds from her books, she purchased Hill Top farm in the English Lake District, where she became a farmer and award-winning sheep breeder. She also pioneered a merchandise line by patenting the first Peter Rabbit doll in 1903, leading to a diverse range of products worldwide, including baby clothing and collectibles. Upon her passing, Potter bequeathed 14 farms and over 4,000 acres of Lake District land to the National Trust, ensuring its preservation for future generations. Today, her original 23 tales continue to be published by Frederick Warne, alongside various formats like baby books and activity books. The Tale of Peter Rabbit is the first in this cherished series.

Forgotten for decades in a dusty trunk, this work brings back the unmistakable voice of Margaret Wise Brown, allowing a new generation of children to discover and cherish her artistry. Never before published, it shines a light on children worldwide, from "a Dutch boy dreams" to "across the sea in the Far, Far East," echoing the familiar lines: "I see the Moon And the Moon sees me. God bless the Moon, And God bless me." Brown, a pioneer of children's literature, wrote stories that resonated with children rather than adults. She is best known for classics like Good Night Moon and Runaway Bunny, which remain best-sellers. At the height of her career, she had over 100 books in print, but her untimely death left many manuscripts forgotten in a cedar trunk. This work was rescued from that trunk. Illustrator Linda Bleck began her artistic journey as a child, drawing on blueprint paper and later assisting her mother, a freelance illustrator. Her work has appeared in notable publications, and she is also known for the "Pepper the Dog" series. This manuscript, published 56 years after Brown's death, was discovered in a Vermont barn, yellowed and rusted. Publisher Laura Minchew took on the challenge to complete it, crafting a bedtime classic that serves as a prayer for God's blessing on all children.

To celebrate Peter's birthday, Frederick Warne is publishing new editions of all 23 of Potter's original tales, which take the very first printings of Potter's works as their guide. The aim of these editions is to be as close as possible to Beatrix Potter's intentions while benefiting from modern printing and design techniques. The colours and details of the watercolours in the volumes are reproduced more accurately than ever before, and it has now been possible to disguise damage that has affected the artwork over the years. Most notably, The Tale of Peter Rabbit restores six of Potter's original illustrations. Four were sacrificed in 1903 to make space for illustrated endpapers, and two have never been used before. Of course, Beatrix Potter created many memorable children's characters, including Benjamin Bunny, Tom Kitten, Jemima Puddle-duck and Jeremy Fisher. But whatever the tale, both children and adults alike can be delighted by the artistry in Potter's illustrations, while they also enjoy a very good read. Because they have always been completely true to a child's experience, Potter's 23 books continue to endure.
