The story of Peter Rabbit first appeared in a picture letter that Beatrix Potter wrote to Noel Moore, the young son of her former governess, in 1893.  Encouraged by her success in having some greeting card designs published, Beatrix remembered the letter seven years later and expanded it into a little picture book with black and white illustrations.  After being rejected several times it was finally published by Frederick Warne in 1902. The Tale of Peter Rabbit's fast-paced story, engaging hero and happy ending have made it a children's classic whose appeal is timeless.
