Four volumes of later editions of the classic children's tales of author and illustrator Beatrix Potter, each richly illustrated in colour.
Beginning in 1901 with the private printing of 'The Tale of Peter Rabbit' following a mischievous and disobedient young Peter Rabbit as he is chased around the garden of Mr McGregor, twenty-three of these charming children's tales were published in total.
