このストーリーについて
The Tale of Peter Rabbit is a picture book by the English author and illustrator Beatrix Potter. It began as an illustrated letter she sent to a sick little boy, Noel Moore, in 1893; she printed it privately in 1901, and Frederick Warne & Co. published it in 1902. This version follows Potter's story scene by scene, from the gooseberry net to the camomile tea, and gives Peter's sisters, the sparrows and the mouse a few words of their own.
