To celebrate Peter's birthday, Frederick Warne is publishingnew editions of all 23 of Potter's original tales, which take thevery first printings of Potter's works as their guide. The aim ofthese editions is to be as close as possible to Beatrix Potter'sintentions while benefiting from modern printing and designtechniques. The colors and details of the watercolors in the volumes arereproduced more accurately than ever before, and it has now beenpossible to disguise damage that has affected the artwork over theyears. Most notably, The Tale of Peter Rabbit restores six ofPotter's original illustrations. Four were sacrificed in 1903 tomake space for illustrated endpapers, and two have never been usedbefore. Of course, Beatrix Potter created many memorable children'scharacters, including Benjamin Bunny, Tom Kitten, JemimaPuddle-duck and Jeremy Fisher. But whatever the tale, both childrenand adults alike can be delighted by the artistry in Potter'sillustrations, while they also enjoy a very good read.
