An exciting opportunity to discover how The Tale of Peter Rabbit became one of the most popular childrens stories of all time; from the illustrated letter in which Peter makes his first appearance to the worldwide popularity he still enjoys today. Never before have all Beatrix Potters original ink drawings for the (private) first edition been displayed together. The exhibition will form a unique insight into the development of the book through rarely seen items from the Trusts collection.More Information: F Baxter, 015394 36355, beatrixpottergallery@nationaltrust.org.uk Normal admission charges apply.
