The Tale of the Flopsy Bunnies (1000 Copy Limited Edition) (e-book) (used book) | bookbook.eu

Description

In The Tale of the Flopsy Bunnies, Benjamin Bunny and Flopsy are the parents of six young rabbits called simply the Flopsy Bunnies. The story concerns how the Flopsy Bunnies, while raiding a rubbish heap of rotting vegetables, fall asleep and are captured by Mr. McGregor who places them in a sack. While McGregor is distracted, the six are freed by Thomasina Tittlemouse, a woodmouse, and the sack filled with rotten vegetables by Benjamin and Flopsy.

After two full-length tales about rabbits, Potter had grown weary of the subject and was reluctant to write another. She realized however that children most enjoyed her rabbit stories and pictures, and so reached back to characters and plot elements from The Tale of Peter Rabbit and The Tale of Benjamin Bunny to create The Flopsy Bunnies.

This edition is limited to 1,000 copies.
