This is one of my Beatrix Potter collections from my childhood, although I actually read the other one I had more often. This collection includes: "The Tale of Peter Rabbit," "The Tailor of Gloucester," "The Tale of Squirrel Nutkin," "The Tale of Benjamin Bunny," "The Tale of Two Bad Mice," "The Tale of Mrs. Tiggy-winkle," "The Pie and the Patty-Pan," "The Tale of Mr. Jeremy Fisher," "The Story of a Fierce Bad Rabbit," "The Story of Miss Moppet," "The Tale of Tom Kitten," "The Tale of Jemima Puddle-duck," and "The Roly-Poly Pudding." Many wonderful stories, and bonus points for including two Tom Kitten stories.
