About the book: 

Beatrix Potter's timeless character Peter Rabbit comes to life in a brand new series based on the well-loved children's books.

Mischievous, charming and brave, Peter is a hero who overcomes obstacles, outwits predators and dodges danger on his exciting adventures. Featuring imagery in soft pastel hues and set amidst the sweeping landscapes of the Lake District, Treehouse Rescue! sees Peter and his friends embark on a brave and dangerous quest for a secret clubhouse to escape the clutches of the hungry fox, Mr Tod. To help him on his adventures, Peter is never without his cousin Benjamin Bunny and their good friend Lily Bobtail. Lots of their friends (and enemies) will be familiar to lovers of Beatrix Potter's timeless animal tales, such as bonkers Squirrel Nutkin, kindly Mrs Tiggy-Winkle and the scary farmer, Mr McGregor. Peter Rabbit is a character that children will be able to relate to. To him, like them, friendship is paramount and he is never far away from fun, mischief and adventure. There are so many extras in here. We've borrowed Peter's secret notebook, and put his sketch of Nutkin's crazy squirrel camp in the book too. It's a great picture, and will take the reader right to the heart of the story. There's also a map showing where everyone lives, and a chance to get to know the characters too.

About the Author

Beatrix has created some of the best-loved characters in children's literature

Beatrix Potter was born in London in 1866. During her rather lonely childhood and later, as a young woman, she studied art and natural history. She acquired her love and knowledge of the countryside during family holidays, at first in Scotland and then in the Lake District. She started her career as children's author and illustrator in 1901 when she was thirty-five. In the years before the First World War, demand for her work was so great that she was publishing an average of two new stories a year. As she became financially independent, she was able to buy some land in the Lake District and in 1913, on her marriage to solicitor William Heelis, she moved to live there permanently. For the last thirty years of her life, writing and illustrating gave place to a second career as a sheep farmer and countryside conservationist.

Her little books never lost their popularity however and today they sell in their millions, translated into numerous languages, and the pleasures of those timeless tales continue to be enjoyed by children all over the world.
