Meer over het boek

In this classic tale by Beatrix Potter, we follow Peter Rabbit's cousin, Benjamin Bunny, on his adventures in Mr. McGregor's vegetable garden. The story unfolds as Benjamin and Peter encounter a cat, leading to a series of thrilling escapades. Their mischief does not go unnoticed, especially when Old Mr. Benjamin Bunny learns of their antics. Beatrix Potter, celebrated as one of the most beloved children's authors, began her literary journey with "The Tale of Peter Rabbit" in 1902. She created a charming series of stories featuring memorable animal characters such as Mrs. Tiggy-winkle, Jemima Puddle-duck, and Tom Kitten. Her delightful narratives and enchanting illustrations have become integral to childhood experiences. With the proceeds from her books, Potter purchased Hill Top, a farm in the English Lake District, where she became a farmer and award-winning sheep breeder. She also pioneered a merchandise program by patenting the first Peter Rabbit doll in 1903, leading to a diverse range of products that continue to expand globally. Upon her passing, Potter bequeathed 14 farms and over 4000 acres of Lake District land to the National Trust, ensuring its preservation for future generations. Today, her original tales remain popular, with "The Tale of Benjamin Bunny" being the fourth in her series of 23 beloved stories.
