Publisher's Note The Moore household is abuzz whenever Miss Porter comes to visit, And no one looks forward more to her visits than Noel. One day she announces she's leaving for Scotland, but promises to write, Soon after Noel is bedridden with fever and only begins to get better when he receives a letter from Miss Porter. The letter is really a story--a story with pictures written just for Noel--that eventually becomes 'The Tale of Peter Rabbit'.
Industry Reviews "That Peter Rabbit's mischief was written down first for a real child will make that story all the more powerful to readers and may be their first acquaintance with literary history." Hotz
