Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Beatrix Potter is one of the world’s best-loved children’s authors, capturing our imagination for over 100 years with her beautifully illustrated Tales. However, few people are aware of the fascinating woman that Beatrix was or the achievements she accomplished in her lifetime, during an era when ambitious women were not allowed to flourish. An artist, storyteller, botanist, environmentalist, farmer and businesswoman, Potter was a visionary and a trailblazer and left an incredible legacy.

From her first book, The Tale of Peter Rabbit (1902) she went on to create a series of stories based around animal characters including Mrs Tiggy-winkle, Mr Jeremy Fisher and Tom Kitten. Her humorous, lively tales and beautiful illustrations have become a natural part of childhood.

Since 1984 more than 150 million Beatrix Potter books have been sold around the world, whilst over 2 million Beatrix Potter books are sold every year worldwide – so one Beatrix Potter books sells somewhere in the world every 15 seconds!

A source of inspiration was the Lake District where she lived for the last thirty years of her life as a farmer and conservationist.

    Beatrix Potter has always been a favorite of mine since my first child was born 41.5 years ago - I have shared it with all of my four (4) children and now my 9 grandchildren - they loved it every time it has been read to them - not to mention the underlying lessons learned from the antics of the mice and, of course, all of Beatrice's stories - the art is amazing as well.

    5.0 out of 5 stars This one is just TOO funny, with a morality tale about greed
    Reviewed in the United States on December 10, 2016

    This one is just TOO funny, with a morality tale about greed, thievery, losing one's temper, and repentance for one's sins as a bonus.

    I have lived in many places where there were mice aplenty, and we co-habit-ed quite cordially for the most part. Ditto for the spiders, ants, and the occasional little lizards or baby snakes. The true persona-non-grata are the roaches and centipedes. I live in Japan, so there are a few others.

    Anyway, a true gem of a story, with all of Miss Potter's other works, read over and over again to as many as will hear them.

    A lesser-known tale of Beatrice Potter, it gives some insight as to why people didn't like sharing their house with mice. I love the remorse/restitution aspect of the story, though, and I'm glad our tiny heroine found a dress that fit her so well.

    1.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing
    Reviewed in the United States on July 17, 2015

    Weird moral story where bad thieves were not so bad because they repaid their debt. It had potential to be so much more. Sadly it falls short as both a story and a moral lesson and it's unclear what it's going for. I'm sad to see the heartwarming pictures accompany such a story. Also the bit about the fake food was rather unpleasant.

    Hard to admit this but I had never read any Beatrix Potter books when I was very young . Nor did I read them to my children. Loved the imagination and the illustrations. Some things do get better with age. I will have to go to the library and read them to the young children there.

    The Tale of the Two Bad Mice was one of my first books as a child, the pictures have remained with me 70 years later. That book of course is long gone so I was so pleased to receive this one. This copy is in pristine condition. Thank you.
