"To mark the 120th anniversary of a story that has delighted countless children, the Folio Society is excited to publish exclusive editions of Beatrix Potter’s inimitable classic, The Tale of Peter Rabbit. These meticulously produced facsimiles perfectly replicate treasures from the archive of her publisher Frederick Warne and Co. Collectors can follow the emergence of the miniature masterpiece from the seeds of the story in a now famous picture letter written to entertain a sick child, through Beatrix Potter’s privately printed edition with its distinctive line drawings, to the mock-up book – or maquette – handwritten in Potter’s beautiful script showing exactly how she wished the words and pictures to appear."--Publisher. "This edition is limited to one thousand hand-numbered copies and twenty lettered copies hors de commerce"--Limitation certificate. The Cushing Library/Children's copy is number 195. |
