All the Beatrix Potter you can eat

This collection is mostly enjoyable with the charm of each story in inverse proportion to its length. Many readers are well known, but most do really well with the stories, despite the addition of animal noises and other sound effects. I vote to remove the long and tedious story of the pig Robinson.
