In 1903, Peter Rabbit was the first fictional character to be made into a patented stuffed toy, making him the oldest licensed character. Spin-off merchandise includes dishes, wallpaper, painting books, board games and dolls. The six books by Potter featuring Peter Rabbit have sold over 150 million copies. A mischievous, adventurous young rabbit who wears a blue jacket, he first appeared in The Tale of Peter Rabbit in 1902, and subsequently in five more books between 19. Peter Rabbit is a fictional animal character in various children's stories by English author Beatrix Potter. Because they have always been completely true to a child's experience, Potter's 23 books continue to endure."First, he ate some lettuces and some French beans and then, he ate some radishes."įlopsy Rabbit/Flopsy Bunny (sister/cousin-in-law)īenjamin and Flopsy's children (nephews and nieces/cousins-once removed) 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. Of course, Beatrix Potter created many memorable children's characters, including Benjamin Bunny, Tom Kitten, Jemima Puddle-duck and Jeremy Fisher. Four were sacrificed in 1903 to make space for illustrated endpapers, and two have never been used before.
Most notably, The Tale of Peter Rabbit restores six of Potter's original illustrations. The colors and details of the watercolors 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. 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. 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.
