About the book: The Tale of Peter Rabbit
It began as a letter. In 1893 Beatrix Potter heard that Noel Moore, the five-year-old son of her former governess, was ill with scarlet fever. To cheer him up she wrote him an illustrated letter: a very short story about four little rabbits, with her own pet rabbit, Peter Piper, in mind.
Years later Noel's mother suggested the letters could become books. Six publishers turned it down, so in December 1901 Potter printed 250 copies herself. Frederick Warne & Co. then took it on, and by December 1903 it had sold 50,000 copies.
It has since been translated into 36 languages and sold some 45 million copies, making it one of the best-selling books in history.
