This collection of 18 of Beatrix Potter's charming stories about Peter Rabbit, Tom Kitten, Squirrel Nutkin, Mrs. Tittlemouse, and the others have enchanted children for over a hundred years and will surely do so well into the future. Beatrix Potter's tales were often connected with real places, people, or animals, so each story also includes a brief introductory note about its history.

Arrived damaged
Books are as expected, timeless classics with beautiful illustrations. I ordered this as a box set specifically to keep all of the books together in a nice sat, however the box came fairly significantly damaged (see photo).Update:Returned and exchanged for new set, arrived in excellent condition. Review changed from 2 to 4 stars

These stories are classic and definitely a must have!!!

This is such a beautiful book, printed on high quality paper, with fine resolution for the watercolor prints. Also, there are some beautiful heretofore unpublished pieces by Potter at the end which are charming. Beatrix Potter’s books are timeless. For someone unaccustomed to children’s literature from a hundred years ago, you are in for a treat! Beautiful pictures, interesting and humorous stories filled with charm and wit! Such a contrast to the ugly and primitive artwork so popular in children’s books today! Also, the story lines are not out to propagandize children, boost self-esteem, give a “message;” rather, they are just lovely stories, tales well-told, often with the main character getting into some kind of trouble but managing to get out of it, either with help or through his or her own determination and intelligence (or luck). These books are good for toddlers on up—- our kids love them year after year.

In additionto all the Beatrix Potter stories and illustrations, there are introductory paragraphs at the beginning of each story that provide very interesting information. If you enjoy reading Beatrix Potter, you will enjoy this book.

This book was a delight to receive. I'm going to have to get one for myself as this was a gift. The case that protects it was a bonus I did not know about. Perfect!

The Beatrix Potter tales reach so many levels in people of all ages. My son is reading the tales to his one year old who just loves the sound of a voice linking with the most magical illustrations, the rhythmic cadences of storytelling laying the best foundations for a future love of reading.
To adults, the tales evoke their own magical memories of bedtime reading and family sharing and the tales are so delightful: animals who think and speak like humans, each with his or her own idiosyncrasies and characteristics. Ever child or adult has a favourite! Mine is Mrs Tiggywinkle, perhaps because the name is so comical or because hedgehogs were a common visitor to our garden in the countryside. And the idea that a hedgehog could don a crisp white apron and lay laundry on garden slopes, comes from a brilliant, creative mind. Beatrix Potter UNDERSTOOD and empathized with animal life. As for her drawings and paintings, they are exquisitely delicate and so wonderful in placing the full characters on the page. It us not surprising that so many children’s bedrooms are filled with images from the tales.
I bought my first grandson the entire set in individual books. I love that I have been able to buy them all in one volume for my fourth grandchild whose father’s eyes lit up with the warmth of his own childhood memories.

These visibly melted the heart of the Beatrix Potter fan for whom they were purchased. Love that they are in the small size they were originally issued in (and child-sized). Love that they are Potter's illustrations (have seen some beautiful renditions for her stories, but hers are the "best"). Would be great for a 'story-a-night' Advent calendar or similar for young children.

Un imprescindible de la literatura infantil
Reviewed in Mexico on March 27, 2024
Si se quisiera definir la obra de Beatrix Potter con una sola palabra, habría que usar "ternura". Nada que ver con los cuentos llenos de violencia, misoginia y horror de los hermanos Grimm y otros engendros semejantes.
