Beatrix Potter loved the countryside and she spent much of her otherwise conventional Victorian childhookd drawing and studying animals. Her passion for the natural world lay behind the creation of her famous series of little books. A particular source of inspiration was the English Lake District where she lived for the last thirty years of her life as a farmer and land conservationist. The Tale of Peter Rabbit, published in 1902, was her first book, expanded from an illustrated letter she had sent to a young friend who was ill. One hundred years later the classic tale of naughty Peter Rabbit's escape from Mr. McGregor's garden still bring s to children all over the world the pleasure that it gave to its very first reader.
2002 marks the 100th anniversary of one of the best-loved childrens books of all time. Since 1902, over 40 million copies of The Tale of Peter Rabbit have been sold worldwide, in more than 35 languages. Recently, it was named the second best-selling childrens book of all time by Publishers Weekly.
