这本书介绍了彼得·兔子，彼得·比伯比他的兄弟姐妹（比索，拖把和棉尾）要冒险得多。在去面包店之前，他们的母亲警告他们避开麦格雷戈先生的花园，因为他们的父亲在那发生了“事故”，最后变成了馅饼。但是，在她离开后，顽皮的彼得立即挤在花园大门下，着麦格雷戈先生的蔬菜，而其他人则乖乖地走上车道摘黑莓。麦格雷戈先生很快就在彼得的黄瓜框附近发现了彼得，并在花园里追逐了那只害怕的小兔子，彼得丢掉了鞋子和蓝色外套。终于找到了大门之后，彼得害怕而明智地回到了家。 Rabbit夫人给了Peter洋甘菊茶，但是，由于他的同胞好，她生产了面包，牛奶和黑莓的晚餐。
The short tale was originally written for private enjoyment. Potter created the title character in 1893 in a letter she wrote to amuse the sick child of her former governess. However, Potter’s friends later encouraged her to look for a publisher. After the work was rejected, she released it herself in 1901. The original version had 42 black-and-white illustrations and was printed in a small format, which she designed so that even very young children could hold the book. The work proved highly popular, and Frederick Warne & Co. subsequently agreed to publish it. After various changes—Potter notably colourized the accompanying images—The Tale of Peter Rabbit was commercially released in 1902. The work combined deceptively simple prose with delicate watercolours of animals that were recognizably realistic woodland creatures despite their humanlike clothing and homes.While charming, The Tale of Peter Rabbit and Potter’s later works also introduce young readers to the very real dangers lurking in the adult world and the notion that actions often have consequences.
A children’s classic, the book was widely translated and went through countless editions. In addition, it inspired Potter to write more than 20 additional works featuring animal protagonists. However, Peter Rabbit remains Potter’s most popular creation. He is perhaps the world’s oldest licensed character, with numerous new products adorned with his likeness produced every year. Potter herself encouraged the merchandising of the character, patenting her own Peter Rabbit doll and inventing a board game that featured him.
