Dear Readers,
As publisher's of the world-renowned Beatrix Potter's tales,it is with a sense of trepidation that we at Frederick Warne bring you this most diverting of story collections.
With so many scandalous displays of naughtiness to choose from,it was difficult for us to agree upon the eleven tales of mischief contained within this treasury.
Then imagine our concern when we discovered Beatrix otter's picture letters which continue the stories of these most wayward characters! We hope you enjoy reading these tales and find solace in the afterwords which seek to teach us how best to behave, Kind Regards,Frederick Warne + Co. [a facsimile signature.]
