Acerca de este libro electrónico
The Tale of Benjamin Bunny is a children's book written and illustrated by Beatrix Potter, and first published by Frederick Warne & Co. in September 1904. The book is a sequel to The Tale of Peter Rabbit (1902), and tells of Peter's return to Mr. McGregor's garden with his cousin Benjamin to retrieve the clothes he lost there during his previous adventure. In Benjamin Bunny, Potter deepened the rabbit universe she created in Peter Rabbit, and, in doing so, suggested the rabbit world was parallel to the human world but complete and sufficient unto itself.

Acerca del autor
Beatrix Potter (1866-1943) was an English writer, illustrator, natural scientist, and conservationist, best known for her beloved children's books featuring animals, such as "The Tale of Peter Rabbit." Born into a wealthy family in London, Potter was largely educated at home, where she developed a keen interest in nature and art. Her detailed illustrations and charming stories have captivated generations of readers, blending whimsy with a deep appreciation for the natural world.Potter's work was revolutionary in its time, breaking away from the moralistic and didactic children's literature of the Victorian era. Her characters, often mischievous and independent, reflected a more modern view of childhood. She was also a pioneering female entrepreneur, retaining the rights to her illustrations and stories, which allowed her to control the production and marketing of her books.Beyond her literary contributions, Potter was a dedicated conservationist. She used the proceeds from her books to purchase large tracts of land in the Lake District, which she later bequeathed to the National Trust, ensuring the preservation of the region's natural beauty.Potter's life was not without controversy. Her relationship with her publisher, Norman Warne, was frowned upon by her parents due to class differences, and her engagement to him was tragically cut short by his untimely death. Despite these personal challenges, Potter's legacy endures, influencing contemporary writers and illustrators who continue to draw inspiration from her work. Her commitment to environmental conservation and her role as a trailblazing female author and businesswoman make her a figure of enduring relevance and admiration.
