Lot Details

'The Tale of A Fierce Bad Rabbit' was written for Louie Warne - the daughter of Potter's publisher Harold Warne. The child thought Peter Rabbit was much too well-behaved and wanted a story about a truly bad rabbit. Potter was experimenting with toy books at the time and 'A Fierce Bad Rabbit' was published for Christmas 1906 in a panorama format of fourteen pictures and text printed from left to right on a long strip of paper that folded accordion-fashion into a wallet tied with a ribbon. Originally published in this form it was hated by booksellers and in 1916 was published in usual book form.
