The History of The Tale of Peter Rabbit by Frederick Warne

A very nice copy of the book, "The History of The Tale of Peter Rabbit" by Frederick Warne.  Taken mainly from Leslie Linder's "A History of the Writings of Beatrix Potter" together with the text and illustrations from the privately printed edition, with eight plates in colour and text illustrations in black and white. Publishers dedicate the book to Leslie Linder without whose enthusiasm much of Beatrix Potter's history and works would have remained undiscovered.  Illustrated, 63 pages.
