The book was soon on sale in shops in London, including Harrods department store, accompanied by the world's first licensed character, a soft toy of Peter Rabbit. [3] By December 1903 the book had sold 50,000 copies. [5] The book's success prompted Warne to obtain more stories from Potter, starting in 1903 with both The Tailor of Gloucester and The Tale of Squirrel Nutkin. [3] The Tale of Peter Rabbit". Turner Classic Movies. Atlanta: Turner Broadcasting System ( Time Warner) . Retrieved 9 October 2016. In 1893, Beatrix Potter heard that the 5-year-old son of a friend, Annie Moore, was convalescing after scarlet fever. Potter decided to entertain the boy, Noel, with an illustrated letter. With her pet rabbit named Peter Piper in mind, she wrote a very short story "about four little rabbits", and illustrated it in the letter. Further letters about other animals followed, until in 1900, Annie Moore proposed to Potter that the illustrated letters could be made into books.

You can see the instructions for all of our crafts over on the Joules blog as well as lots of cute in process pictures too. I’ve honestly really loved working with Joules, they’ve been one of my favourite companies over the years so it’s been great to discover they’re a brilliant company to work with too! I’m also more than a little bit in love with their Peter Rabbit collection for kids, this boys raincoat is adorable and I think I kind of need this pink tshirt in my size?! Failing that it will have to be more cute stuff for my kids while keep myself busy looking at the grown up clothes! Publication history [ edit ] Cover of the first edition, privately published in 1901 with monochrome illustrations Judith Robertson and colleagues examine the element of ruthlessness in the story. In their view, Peter Rabbit's qualities such as ruthlessness and defiance allow Potter to speak of her own self-knowledge; this serves both as an outlet for a woman in the strict Victorian era, and as a place for her young readers to imagine going to similar extremes.

Key info

Cotton-tail - Cotton-tail is a sweet rabbit and Peter's sibling. As her name says, she is soft as cotton. (She is the youngest of the four.) Eliza Dresang suggests that the book is "radical" in multiple ways. The first of these is its child-centred size, easy to hold. It is radical, too, in its nonlinear quality, with the images not immediately beside the text they illustrate (and sometimes before that text), and with sentences that often start with the result, and end with the actor, as in "But round the end of a cucumber frame, whom should he meet but Mr. McGregor!" The meaning, too, has more than one layer, not least in the dressed animals, which are at once experienced by the reader as animals and as humans. And the book's start, with the death of Peter Rabbit's father, is a radical innovation for a book for small children. [5]

I’m so excited about this collaboration that it’s taken a lot of effort on my part to keep it quiet until now! Peter Rabbit was always one of my favourite books when I was a kid and I’ve loved seeing how the stories have evolved over time, both with the TV series and now with a new Peter Rabbit film. I was asked by Joules if I could come up with some Peter Rabbit crafts to celebrate their collaboration with Peter Rabbit and my kids were desperate to be involved, in fact we did these first thing on New Years Day as they absolutely couldn’t wait any longer!

Potter asserted her tales would one day be nursery classics, and part of the "longevity of her books comes from strategy", writes Potter biographer Ruth MacDonald. [15] She was the first to exploit the commercial possibilities of her characters and tales; between 1903 and 1905 these included a Peter Rabbit stuffed toy, an unpublished board game, and nursery wallpaper.
