It's been 110 years since Frederick Warne published Beatrix
Potter's very first book, "The Tale of Peter Rabbit", and in
celebration, we are delighted to be publishing special editions of
her entire body of work. Unlike the traditional little white books,
these editions have delightful colourful covers and specially
designed endpapers. And to make them extra special, we have
included a publisher's note to tell you all about the history of
how each book came to be. "The Tailor of Gloucester" was first
published in 1903 and tells the story of a poor tailor trying to
survive in his freezing workshop over a hard winter. He has a
terribly important commission to complete for the Mayor of
Gloucester's wedding on Christmas Day but is ill and tired, and
before long is running out of food and thread, as well as time! How
will he possibly complete the beautiful coat and embroidered
waistcoat? Fortunately, some very kind and very resourceful mice
(who live in the dresser) set about helping the poor tailor with
his work. Not only are they exceedingly helpful, but they are also,
luckily, far far too clever for the tailor's sly cat, Simpkin. "The
Tailor of Gloucester" is number three in Beatrix Potter's series of
23 little books.
