Description

Inscribed later edition of Potter's The Tale of Pigling Bland.

  • Beatrix Potter (English).
  • London: Frederick Warne & Co. Ltd, [after 1918].
  • Inscribed on the half-title by the author "with kind regards from Beatrix Potter," and with additional ink inscription "To Peggy, from Mrs Postlethwaite & Mary, Sept. 8th 1933."
  • Includes 15 color plates (including frontispiece), black & white illustrations to text.
  • Bound in pictorial endpapers with original pale green pictorial boards.


The Postlethwaite family lived at High Green Gate near to Castle Cottage, Beatrix Potter's Lakeland home after 1909. It is likely that this book was originally given to the Postlethwaite family (probably to one of the girls, Mary or Amanda) as a gift from Beatrix, and they then later gave it away to a friend "Peggy."
