Tom and his sisters look so smart in their new clothes. When their mother sends them outside while she waits for her visitors, she couldn't possibly guess what kind of mess they are going to get themselves into!
It's been 110 years since Frederick Warne published Beatrix Potter's very first book, "The Tale of Peter Rabbit", and in celebration, we are delighted to be publishing special editions of her entire body of work. Unlike the traditional little white books, these editions have delightful colourful covers and specially designed endpapers. And to make them extra special, we have included a publisher's note to tell you all about the history of how each book came to be. "The Tale of Tom Kitten" is set in the cottage garden Beatrix created herself at Hill Top, the farm she owned near the village of Sawrey. "The Tale of Tom Kitten" is number eight in Beatrix Potter's series of 23 little books.
堪稱繪本鼻祖的彼得兔系列,在西方被稱為經典中的經典,百年來長銷不衰,作者畢翠克絲·波特也因此讓全世界的讀者為她著迷。自1902年發表第一個故事到今天,她的故事幾乎被翻譯成每一個主要語種,年年印刷,版本無數。在英語國家,幾乎每一個孩子都有過一兩本她的書。人們不僅僅喜歡她的精妙幽默的文字,還同樣熱愛她手繪的精彩、絢麗、生動的圖畫。也正是從"彼得兔系列"開始,孩子和成人開始因為同樣的理由而喜歡同一種圖書。
