Appley Dapply's Nursery Rhymes - Beatrix Potter loved nursery rhymes, and planned a collection of them as the follow-up to The Tale of Peter Rabbit. However, after her editor and fiancé Norman Warne died in 1905, the project was set aside. When her publisher faced financial ruin in 1917, the book was resurrected, and remains a classic for the very young. Beatrix Potter’s tales have featured prominently in many people’s childhoods over the years, and a new audience is just finding them, inspired by the recent live-action Hollywood films. The characters have also been heavily merchandised, with products ranging from stuffed toys to puzzles, and even currency! This comprehensive gift set provides a perfect opportunity to share the original classic tales with a new generation of readers, in the format they were intended to be enjoyed in.

There is an accurate replica of Potter's house and a theme park in Japan, and a series of Mr. McGregor's gardens in one of the largest banks. Merchandisers in Japan estimate that 80% of the population have heard of Peter Rabbit.
