      The Dullard

      Jun 5, 2019

      The villagers of Yockenthwaite knew him as ‘Jack Dull’, ‘Jack Dolt,’ or sometimes just ‘The Dullard’. His real name was John Dullard, last in a long, illustrious line of Dullards, and a man – so they said – of quite miraculous stupidity. The kind of

      Long-ago Rabbits And The Best Of Times

      Mar 11, 2020

      I was born in 1931. My first recollection has to be my mother’s roast rabbit; I can see it now in my mind’s eye, lying there in its bronze glory before being attacked by my siblings and me. At the back of the woodshed were the ferret hutches, which t

      My mommy got this book for me for my first Christmas, but we had to wait a long time to read it. Now that I'm two and a half, I enjoy reading these stories with my mommy. I can't believe how many stories are in this book! We have to use a bookmark! I like all the animal adventures.
    • 5/5
      A beautiful collection of all twenty-three original Peter Rabbit with full-color reproductions of Potter's illustrations. A must-have for anyone who grew up with her stories.

      This is a amazing book I really really enjoyed this book sooooooooooooooo much
    • 5/5
      What's not to love? Perhaps the newest generation of parents will find the characters too sweet and the writer entirely too naive for today's world, but maybe that is why they need to read this delightful book.

      First of all, let’s just say it’s a mistake to purchase the Dover Thrift edition for Beatrix Potter. A big part of the charm for BP is her watercolor illustrations, and I completely forgot when I bought this. This version instead replicates her work via black & white line drawings by Pat Stewart. The effects are pretty good, but it’s like a birthday cake without candles.I’ve been meaning to read Peter Rabbit etc. ever since watching “Miss Potter” some years ago. (Priorities, priorities.) Perhaps that’s why I just grabbed this one when I saw it at the Morgan Library gift shop in New York. Like most children’s books, I inevitably find myself with a weaker disposition than I had considered myself. The Tale of Peter Rabbit, page 1, “Now, my dears,” said old Mrs. Rabbit one morning, “you may go into the fields or down the lane, but don’t go into Mr. McGregor’s garden: your Father hand an accident there; he was put in a pie by Mrs. McGregor.” Holy Crap, a father is cooked, mentioned rather nonchalantly I might add, within the first paragraph on the first page! In the Tale of Jemima Puddle-duck, the not-so-sharp JPD gathers herbs and seasonings for a fox to cook herself, i.e. roast duck. Hmm, geez, these stories are violent! :PWell, after the initial (mild) shock, I come to enjoy the silly character names such as Twinkleberry, Tiggywinkle, Flopsy, Mopsy and so on, got an education on British/Scottish terms and clothing: Tam o' Shanter (Scottish bonnet for men), perambulator (=pram), pinafore (apron like cover worn over dress), tucker (collar lace), and picked up the probably untrue tidbit of lettuce makes a bunny soporific. Good enough for mild entertainment.

      I grew up with Beatrix potter’s stories, and used to get my parents to read them to me all the time. This anthology of her work is a great book that can be read out loud to children and is mostly about animals found around a common farm. Some of the stories do have some questionable content like rabbit threatened to be eaten or animals getting trapped but I remember not being effected by that at all, in fact that made the ending even better. It’s great when a small animal out wits the human that’s threatening them.The book is formatted so that each important portion of the story has a page to itself and an illustration of what’s going on. This is great it a child wants to flip through the book themselves and will engaged them in the story. The pictures are beautifully drawn with rich colors that are very appealing to young and old eyes, and add more to the story. It visually shows just how clever a young rabbit is feeling or how a little kitten feels about getting dirty, much better than words could.

      Nothing can make me feel better than Beatrix Potter - especially with full color plates like these to look at.

      I never read these as a child (sad I know) and so enjoyed sharing them with my own children. This book which contained all of her works including some unpublished works was lovely. It’s one of those books that will be read and read again, so is one I’d like to own.Loved the stories, loved the illustrations. Both of my children enjoyed them all.
    • 4/5
      All the stories Beatrix Potter wrote in one large book, with the original illustrations. It is a lovely book, and my son loved it. I love the little books which fit in a child's hand, but this was a less expensive alternate.

      I've been reading this aloud to my 7yo for a month or so, reading one story every now and then. The stories are presented here in chronological order as published with 4 unpublished works at the end. The stories are wonderful, darling tales of anthropomorphic animals. Once she married in 1913 she didn't have as much time for her painting and writing and I think it shows as the stories in the first half of the book are much more enjoyable than the latter ones. The stories are somewhat didactic but not overly so. They are also much more violent than I would have thought them to be. Naughty children are spanked frequently and Potter presents as a matter of fact that animals are often killed by hunters, farmers and other animals.The 7yo really enjoyed the stories, especially the ones in which Peter Rabbit or members of his family appeared. Also, while each story stands alone there are references to prior events and characters and this was fun to notice when reading them in order. This edition itself includes a brief biography of Beatrix Potter at the front and prior to each story is a short introductory paragraph detailing connections in the story with Potter's real life. All the original illustrations, including the original front covers illustrations, are included and this is a book that can be browsed through just for the gorgeous watercolours and sketches.

      I love these small books because of the illustrations. BP is an acute observer, and her pictures are so full of these small, wonderful details. She creates a small and idyllic world that any child relates to. At the same thing she is not totally unrealistic because her world can be quite sinister and threatening at times as well. The text is interesting because she is a mix of the stereotypical annoying Victorian bitch and a quite modern woman. The books are a delight to read to kids, again and again as it happens.
