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. 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. 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. Most notably, The Tale of Peter
Rabbit restores six of Potter's original illustrations. Four
were sacrificed in 1903 to make space for illustrated
endpapers, and two have never been used before. Of course,
Beatrix Potter created many memorable children's characters,
including Benjamin Bunny, Tom Kitten, Jemima Puddle-duck and
Jeremy Fisher. 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.
Because they have always been completely true to a child's
experience, Potter's 23 books continue to endure.
