beautiful and collectable - By: Ms. Vanessa Wagstaff, 30 Dec 2006 
This is a real escape into Beatrix's world, writtenin her style of conversation & beautiful facsimile style reproductions of ephemera & letters bringing her creations to life. Best of all is the facsimile of the private first edition of Peter Rabbit at the back, a rare publication to have I think. Adults love it as well as children.
