4.0 out of 5 stars Must Read for Young and Old, Oct 17 2007
By N. Manning (Ontario, Canada) - See all my reviews
(TOP 100 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
I've been reading this aloud to my 7yo for a month or so, reading one story every now and then. The stories are presented here in chronological order as published with 4 unpublished works at the end. The stories are wonderful, darling tales of anthropomorphic animals. Once Potter married in 1913 she didn't have as much time for her painting and writing and I think it shows as the stories in the first half of the book are much more enjoyable than the latter ones. The stories are somewhat didactic but not overly so. They are also much more violent than I would have thought them to be. Naughty children are spanked frequently and Potter presents as a matter of fact that animals are often killed by hunters, farmers and other animals.

The 7yo really enjoyed the stories, especially the ones in which Peter Rabbit or members of his family appeared. Also, while each story stands alone there are references to prior events and characters and this was fun to notice when reading them in order. This edition itself includes a brief biography of Beatrix Potter at the front and prior to each story is a short introductory paragraph detailing connections in the story with Potter's real life. All the original illustrations, including the original front covers illustrations, are included and this is a book that can be browsed through just for the gorgeous watercolours and sketches.

5.0 out of 5 stars Classic timeless reading, Oct 17 2008
By Barbara "Loves to Knit" (Ontario, Canada) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)   
Beatrice Potter called them little books and I have those too, but I liked the idea of having all the books in one complete book so I bought this one too. I think Beatrice's stories are a must read for every generation. Her illustrations capture the stories beautifully and since I grew up with these books I know first hand that the stories can be enjoyed by just looking at the pictures or reading them as well. My favourites are still the same: The Tailor of Gloucester, Two Bad Mice, and Mrs. Tiggy-Winkle.

If you're interested in more information about Beatrice Potter, I recommend the movie about her life called Miss Potter.Miss Potter

I really enjoyed the additional information about Beatrice and the About This Book page at the beginning of each book which gives details about when each book was published and other little details about how the stories came about.
