Beatrice Potter (1866-1943) was a famous British writer and artist. At the beginning of the 20th century, she invented and painted Peter rabbit, a funny and restless mischievous boy who immediately liked the kids.Since then, stories about the adventures of Peter Rabbit have become classics of world children's literature. After all, the animals in them — rabbits and mice, squirrels and cats — behave just like people: they make friends, get into funny adventures and help each other. And the author's elegant and delicate drawings perfectly complement the fairy tales and create a special atmosphere of old England.This book includes fairy tales 'Peter Rabbit', 'About Benjamin Bunny', 'About Tom the Kitten' and others — in an excellent translation by I. P. Tokmakova.
