This deluxe volume brings all Beatrix Potter's twenty-three Peter Rabbit Tales together in one book. The texts are complete and unabridged and all the original illustrations, both color and black and white, are included. The stories are arranged in the order in which they were first published for, although each story stands alone, several are linked together by events and characters. Each story has a brief introductory note about its history. The revised edition of The Complete Tales includes two early narrative picture sequences, Three Little Mice and The Rabbits' Christmas Party, and two charming little stories, The Sly Old Cat and The Fosx and the Stork. These four pieces alone, not available in print elsewhere, make this an essential piece of any fan or collector's library.
