A prolific writer and illustrator, Beatrix Potter’s first book ‘The Tale of Peter Rabbit’, was an instant success in 1902 when it was first published by Frederick Warne & Co. The rest is history as they say, and her successive books featuring a series of popular animals has spawned a huge market for Beatrix Potter toys and gifts; as well as inspiring entire children’s bedroom furnishings and accessories.
Soft toys of almost all of the Beatrix Potter characters are collected by adults as well as kids, who just love the stories about Tom Kitten, Jemima Puddle-Duck, Jeremy Fisher or Mrs Tiggy Winkle. The simple style of the writing and the uncomplicated sketches and drawings of countryside life are as relevant in the 21st century as they were when first written. Beatrix Potter toys even include building blocks, games, jigsaw puzzles and jack-in-the-boxes, whilst kids can go to school with Beatrix Potter themed lunch boxes or play with a Peter Rabbit ball.
No range of Beatrix Potter toys would be complete without many of the other colourful characters; these include Flopsy, Mopsy and Cottontail, as well as Mrs. Rabbit, Benjamin Bunny, Miss Moppet and not forgetting Mrs. Tittlemouse. Parents can even buy their youngest children most of the popular stories narrated on a CD, and grandparents love to buy the complete set of Beatrix Potter books that are presented in a beautiful storage case.
