Il mondo di Beatrix Potter
Da più di cento anni il mondo di Beatrix Potter affascina grandi e piccini: le storie di Peter Coniglio sono un classico della letteratura per l'infanzia e sono state tradotte in oltre trentacinque lingue. In questo volume sono raccolte, nella loro versione integrale, tutte le ventitré avventure di Peter Coniglio e le filastrocche di Beatrix Potter. Le storie vengono presentare nell'esatta sequenza in cui furono pubblicate, per rispettare i riferimenti e i rimandi pensati dall'autrice, grazie a personaggi che ritornano e trame che si prolungano da un testo all'altro. Inoltre il volume include quattro storie pubblicate postume, che ancora una volta mostrano le grandi doti di narratrice e di illustratrice di Beatrix Potter.

About the author
Beatrix Potter
3,354 books2,140 followersHelen Beatrix Potter was an English author, illustrator, mycologist, and conservationist who is best known for her children's books, which featured animal characters such as Peter Rabbit.
Born into a wealthy household, Potter was educated by governesses and grew up isolated from other children. She had numerous pets, and through holidays in Scotland and the Lake District, developed a love of landscape, flora, and fauna, all of which she closely observed and painted. Because she was a woman, her parents discouraged intellectual development, but her study and paintings of fungi led her to be widely respected in the field of mycology.
In her thirties, Potter published the highly successful children's book The Tale of Peter Rabbit and became secretly engaged to her publisher, Norman Warne, causing a breach with her parents, who disapproved of his social status. Warne died before the wedding.
Potter eventually published 24 children's books, the most recent being The Tale of Kitty-in-Boots (2016), and having become financially independent of her parents, was able to buy a farm in the Lake District, which she extended with other purchases over time.
In her forties, she married a local solicitor, William Heelis. She became a sheep breeder and farmer while continuing to write and illustrate children's books. Potter died in 1943 and left almost all of her property to The National Trust in order to preserve the beauty of the Lake District as she had known it, protecting it from developers.
Potter's books continue to sell well throughout the world, in multiple languages. Her stories have been retold in various formats, including a ballet, films, and in animation.

Cinque stelle è troppo poco. Sfido chiunque a trovare un libro con illustrazioni più adorabili e minuziose di quelle di Beatrix Potter.

Ho comprato questo libro per la mia affezione verso le illustrazioni di Beatrix. Infatti da piccola mia madre mi aveva comprato tutto il set per mangiare. Poi negli anni ho continuato a trovare i lavori di Beatrix un po' ovunque. Quindi ho pensato fosse imperativo per me recuperare questo meraviglioso volume. Perché diciamo, è una chicca che ti rende felice. Ho impiegato parecchio tempo per leggerlo perché non potevo trasportarlo, visto il peso. Però grazie a questa cosa sono riuscita a godermi al 100% la lettura. Consiglio il libro solo se siete dei fan, visto che il costo è comunque abbastanza oneroso.

Obiously wonderful, I don't think there's really much to say about Beatrix Potter's work. Her tales are heartwarming and her illustrations captivating, and I really appreciated the notes and explanations at the beginning of every story, which give a better understanding of the time and reason behind them.
I recommend reading one or two per day.

Edizione "cottagecore" e raffinata, forse più adatta ai collezionisti che ai bambini. Non può mancare in libreria!
Delle illustrazioni di Potter che dire: non si possono non amare.
Questa raccolta di lavori di Beatrix Potter è una coccola, ti fa tornare bambina e sognare di avventure in campagna.
