The Tale of Peter Rabbit and Other Stories

By: Beatrix Potter

Narrated by: Joan Walker

Written for the five-year-old son of her former governess, The Tale of Peter Rabbit was Beatrix Potter's first literary offering. Immensely popular upon its release in 1902, The Tale of Peter Rabbit featured a mischievous bunny who encounters a cranky old gardener and his cat. Beatrix Potter's work was notable for its lively illustrations of animals and imaginative characterizations of rabbits, squirrels, cats, and mice. Working with her future fiancé, Norman Warne, as her editor, she published two or three little books each year from 1902 through 1918. The initial 22 stories are included in this new audio edition.

Narration, oh my!

Beatrix Potter, of course, needs no accolades here. This narration of Ms. Potter’s works does deserve some words, however. Ms Walker’s performance is more wonderful than I could possibly have imagined. Far more engaging than the voice in my own head! Endearing, humorous and absolutely delightful for my kids as well as myself! We will listen again and again.

I'd Probably Get an Award

I listen to this at night, it's my perfect bedtime story (stories). Joan Walkers voice is engaging, but heavenly for slumbering too. I do believe that if they tallied up the listens, I'd win an award for listening to this one the most! I chose this book because it was 8 hours long and narrated by a soothing voice, now I want all the books in my collection narrated by her, but the stories are fun and whimsical too! All perfect for a dreamer🌛 Goodnight! 😴
