Peter Rabbit My Busy Book

Product Information

Katie Mullins describes Peter's rebellious nature, which is seen in the book's first dialogue, when Mrs. Rabbit forbids Peter to go into Mr. McGregor's garden. Mullins comments that the garden is stated to be dangerous, as it is where Peter's father met his death. She cites Maria Nikolajeva and Carole Scott's description of Peter as a "naughty boy who values his independence and whose desire to transgress boundaries far outweighs his mother’s warnings or his personal safety".

Potter initially wrote the story of Peter Rabbit in 1893 to provide entertainment to her friend’s 5-year-old son, who was ill. The letter she wrote commenced with: “I don't know what to write to you, so I shall tell you a story about four little rabbits whose names were—Flopsy, Mopsy, Cottontail and Peter.” This followed with Potter publishing more stories, which at first received rejections from publishers before it received positive results. Potter developed her prowess in her ability to draw and illustrate due to her childhood interest in nature surrounding her. As she grew up as a child, she would sketch animals and day by day observation developed her life-like drawing style.

Closing times vary depending on the time of year, with earlier opening/later closing times during school holidays and Illumination weekends. Since its release, the book has generated considerable merchandise for both children and adults, including toys, dishes, foods, clothing, and videos. Potter was one of the first to be responsible for such merchandise when she patented a Peter Rabbit doll in 1903 and followed it almost immediately with a Peter Rabbit board game. Peter Rabbit has remained popular amongst children for more than a century and continues to be adapted into new book editions, television programmes, and films.
