Because they have always been completely true to a child's experience, Potter's 23 books continue to endure. But whatever the tale, both children and adults alike can be delighted by the artistry in Potter's illustrations, while they also enjoy a very good read. The illustrations represent Derwentwater, in the Lake District, where Beatrix Potter spent her summer holiday for some time. Of course, Beatrix Potter created many memorable children's characters, including Benjamin Bunny, Tom Kitten, Jemima Puddle-duck and Jeremy Fisher. Four were sacrificed in 1903 to make space for illustrated endpapers, and two have never been used before. Most notably, The Tale of Peter Rabbit restores six of Potter's original illustrations. However, when he gets to his families home, he decides not to ask his Aunt Josephine or other cousins Flopsy, Mopsy and Cotton-Tail where Peter is due to not being overly fond of them. The colors and details of the watercolors in the volumes are reproduced more accurately than ever before, and it has now been possible to disguise damage that has affected the artwork over the years. Benjamin goes to visit his cousin Peter Rabbit, who lives with his family in a Burrowunder a large tree at the end of the Woods near Mr. The aim of these editions is to be as close as possible to Beatrix Potter's intentions while benefiting from modern printing and design techniques. To celebrate Peter's birthday, Frederick Warne is publishing new editions of all 23 of Potter's original tales, which take the very first printings of Potter's works as their guide.
