The Tale of Peter Rabbit was first published privately by Beatrix Potter in 1901, and within a year had been taken up by a commercial publisher and become an instant bestseller. It and the twenty-two little books that followed make up what is now one of the most successful children's series in the world.This Little Treasury brings together four of these famous stories, starting with the most beloved and well-known of all, The Tale of Peter Rabbit, about a naughty little rabbit, who squeezes under the gate into Mr. McGregor's garden. This is followed by The Tale of Tom Kitten, about a mischievous kitten who loses his best clothes in a scrape, and The Tale of Squirrel Nutkin, the cautionary story of the squirrel who dares to tease Old Brown the owl and loses his tail as a result. Finally comes The Tale of Johnny Town-Mouse, about a country mouse who goes to town by accident in a hamper.
