About this deal

Little Benjamin took one look, and then, in half a minute less than no time, he hid himself and Peter and the onions underneath a large basket. . . . Helen 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. Peter and Benjamin blinked in the darkness - the smell of onions was making their eyes water. They waited and waited for the cat to wake up and move - but it didn’t seem to want to wake up at all... The book was dedicated to "the children of Sawrey from old Mr. Bunny". [11] [14] Beginnings and endings of tales were important to Potter and she specified Benjamin Bunny was to end with the words, "rabbit tobacco" – a term from Uncle Remus she had made her own. [11] Old Mrs. Rabbit was a widow; she earned her living by knitting rabbit-wool mittens and muffatees (I once bought a pair at a bazaar). She also sold herbs, and rosemary tea, and rabbit-tobacco (which is what we call lavender).

Peter Rabbit's cousin, Benjamin Bunny, has been a very popular character since this book's first publication in 1904. In this tale, we hear all about his and Peter's adventures in Mr. McGregor's vegetable garden, and what happens to them when they meet a cat! And perhaps even more frightening, what happens to the two cheeky bunnies when Old Mr. Benjamin Bunny finds out what they have been up to!Overall, “The Tale of Benjamin Bunny” is a truly cute and wonderful classic tale from Beatrix Potter about the consequences of being naughty! I would recommend this book to children ages three and up since there is nothing inappropriate in this book. When Mr. McGregor returned about half an hour later he observed several things which perplexed him. They went away hand in hand, and got upon the flat top of the wall at the bottom of the wood. From here they looked down into Mr. McGregor’s garden. Like the majority of the works on paper collection, they're not on permanent display to avoid the watercolour fading but are available to view by appointment in the Prints and Drawings study room. View a selection in the online gallery below. million of the 2017 Benjamin Bunny coins were minted, by far the most of any commemorative 50p coin created in 2017, either as part of the Beatrix Potter collection or otherwise.

THAT wood was full of rabbit holes; and in the neatest sandiest hole of all, cousins—Flopsy, Mopsy, Cotton-tail and Peter. Benjamin became a motif in a nursery wallpaper designed by Potter shortly after the tale's publication. [20] Benjamin and Peter made a cameo appearance in the artwork of Potter's The Tale of Mrs. Tiggy-Winkle (1905), and returned as adult rabbits in The Tale of the Flopsy Bunnies (1909) and The Tale of Mr. Tod (1912). The second edition Peter Rabbit coin is closest with a mintage of 19.9 million, but after that, there is a significant drop off in the mintage of the Potter coins. Peter fell down head first; but it was of no consequence, as the bed below was newly raked and quite soft. Old Mrs. Rabbit was a widow; she earned her living by knitting rabbit-wool mittens and muffetees (I once bought a pair at a bazaar). She also sold herbs, and rosemary tea, and rabbit-tobacco (which is what WE call lavender).They took them off the scarecrow. There had been rain during the night; there was water in the shoes, and the coat was somewhat shrunk. Aside from the standard Brittania and Royal Shield 50p’s (first put into circulation in 2008, to replace the Britannia design), the 2017 Benjamin Bunny 50p is the most common commemorative 50p coin in circulation in Britain today, with a mintage of over double that of the next rarest coin – the 2006 VC award, of which 12 million were produced. The world that Peter Rabbit first introduced to us in 1902 is still today one of Beatrix Potter's most popular and well-loved worlds. What started as an endearing story about a bunny rabbit would soon become the first ember for the illustrious series that is 'The World of Beatrix Potter', and a story which has endured retelling after retelling at bedtimes all over the world. By the age of 14, she had started a journal, written in code, to record her thoughts, ideas and sketches and kept it up until the age of 30. Her early sketches included detailed images of her pets and other animals. Her father, a talented amateur photographer, had friendships within the London art world including the Pre-Raphaelite painter John Everett Millais (1829–1896), whose family would holiday with the Potters in Perthshire, Scotland. Millais recognised Potter's talent, telling her: 'Plenty of people can draw, but you have observation.' With the encouragement of her father, Potter went on to study at the National Art Training School in London (now the Royal College of Art).
