The Tale of Peter Rabbitis one of the best-selling, and best-loved, children''s books of all time, and the story of how it came to be published-and what''s happened to the book in the 100 years since publication-is fascinating. Judy Taylor, a leading authority on Potter, tells the story that begins with a small girl''s devotion to her pet rabbit and ends with Beatrix Potter''s bequest of extensive areas of England''s Lake District. In between we see how the book began as a letter to the son of Potter''s governess, look at its initial publication (paid for by Potter) in black-and-white, and follow Peter Rabbit''s rise to the most famous rabbit in the world.
