Customer Reviews

Immaculate Conditon

I bought this set for my daughter and was floored when I opened the package and saw that this complete set looked as if it was never used! Truly brand new and just beautiful. I'm so pleased and it's been so fun to share these stories with her.

Fantastic

The stories are fantastic made. The stories are for all ages. Enjoyed how she brought all the animals to life.

in great shape for being used

I think this book is in great shape for being used. I am reading it and realized it is far more than just about Peter Rabbit. It is about a lot of animals. I think it is well written. I think it would be enjoyed by a lot of people. I enjoy the illustrations. They are not amateurish but are really well done.

You Can't Go Wrong...

You can't go wrong with Beatrix Potter. I grew up on these books, and spent hours staring at the gorgeous illustrations. I'm so happy to own a complete copy of all her stories as an adult. If you somehow haven't read Beatrix Potter, and you love beautiful illustrations of gardens, plants and flowers, and little animals wearing waistcoats, you need to read this book now!

Beautiful book!

This book is gorgeous and gently used as described. I am very pleased with the appearance.

A Timeless Classic

These stories are a timeless classic meant as much for adults as children. Far from being dark stories (Grimm's Fairy Tales are far more darker and contain more unpleasant themes than Beatrix Potter's stories), they reinforce many important life lessons and will still be around long after Pokemon becomes a footnote of the past.

A Wonderful Book

I think all books by Beatrix Potter are wonderful. I remember reading them when I was young and I still read them today. They bring back childhood memories. My favorite tale is the tale of the two bad mice. Beatix Potter books are classic bedtime stories.

Beautiful Illustrations and Wonderful Stories

Beatrix Potter wrote wonderful stories for children! All of the books do have a subtle moral- which is good, imho. Disobedient children are punished in some books- but this does not mean they are dark stories. Her stories are so full of light, the children are not oppressed (in one story a young bunny is spanked- this is only because he went somewhere he'd been told not to b/c his life would be endangered). All of her characters are full of life and love- and so many stories portray great imaginative fun. Mrs. Tiggy-Winkle is especially fun. These books are true English classics- full of love for life and imagination.
