Description: Beatrix Potter - The Heritage Collection - 12 Volulme Book Set. NEWFREE P&P This is a beautiful special edition set produced in 2020 for The Folio Society. The books are cloth bound with gilded page edges and decorative endpapers. Presented in a treasury box set that retains all the charm of Beatrix Potter’s originals, this is the perfect gift for any child. Beatrix Potter’s tales of endearing animals with human traits have been charming children for generations. An artist, author and conservationist, Potter was a woman of prodigious and varied talents and her love of flora and fauna is evident in her beautifully detailed, evocative drawings. Discouraged from pursuing a career in science, she published her first book, The Tale of Peter Rabbit, when she was in her thirties. Forty million copies have been sold since 1902 and its success led Potter to compose and illustrate a total of 23 books. From the adorable antics in The Tale of Squirrel Nutkin to the courage displayed in The Tale of Jemima Puddle-Duck, 12 of Potter’s best-loved stories have been selected for The Heritage Collection. This special edition has been published exclusively for Folio, and each beautifully crafted book features a gold-blocked cloth binding and gilding on all page edges. The exquisite endpapers replicate the binding design of deluxe editions published by Warne in 1903, a patterned calico supplied by Edmund Potter and Company, Beatrix’s paternal grandfather. Finally, the set is presented in a beautiful presentation box lined with the endpaper design and printed with gold letterin Includes:The Tale of Peter RabbitThe Tale of Squirrel NutkinThe Tailor of GloucesterThe Tale of Mrs. Tiggy-WinkleThe Tale of Two Bad MiceThe Tale of Benjamin BunnyThe Tale of Jeremy FisherThe Tale of Jemima Puddle-DuckThe Tale of the Flopsy BunniesThe Tale of Pigling BlandThe Tale of the Pie and the Patty-PanThe Tale of Miss Moppet Beatrix Potter is one of the world’s best-loved children’s authors, capturing our imagination for over 100 years with her beautifully illustrated Tales. However, few people are aware of the fascinating woman that Beatrix was or the achievements she accomplished in her lifetime, during an era when ambitious women were not allowed to flourish. An artist, storyteller, botanist, environmentalist, farmer and businesswoman, Potter was a visionary and a trailblazer and left an incredible legacy. From her first book, The Tale of Peter Rabbit (1902) she went on to create a series of stories based around animal characters including Mrs Tiggy-winkle, Mr Jeremy Fisher and Tom Kitten. Her humorous, lively tales and beautiful illustrations have become a natural part of childhood. Since 1984 more than 150 million Beatrix Potter books have been sold around the world, whilst over 2 million Beatrix Potter books are sold every year worldwide – so one Beatrix Potter books sells somewhere in the world every 15 seconds! A source of inspiration was the Lake District where she lived for the last thirty years of her life as a farmer and conservationist. Please Look At Our Other Listings For More Great Items!
