Book Reviews of The World of Peter Rabbit (The Original Peter Rabbit, Books 1-23, Presentation Box)
Book Review: A Beatrix Potter collection worth every penny
Summary: 5 Stars
It may be a cliche to give five stars to a collected edition of the Beatrix Potter tales, but I think this boxed set of the complete Peter Rabbit books is really deserving of every star it gets and more. The Beatrix Potter tales are really a lasting contribution to literature for children, and appeal to children and adults alike. The stories don't really need much praise here (except that I confess to finding Little Pig Robinson a rather dull, waffling book that was written during Potter's later years), but still this boxed set is well worth its price. I know it's a hundred dollars and more expensive than the omnibus edition of the tales, but you can really savour the original format of the books. The stores unfold gracefully and the format is more pleasing to the eye, as it's perhaps more organised than the cumbersome omnibus edition. Of course, the illustrations are so very picture-perfect, and the reproductions make them look more vivid than ever. A minor quibble is about the six extra illustrations in Peter Rabbit, as they have made the story drag a little as compared to the final published version we know now. That said, I enjoy this new set tremendously, as it's well-produced on the whole, with nice paper and a new font that is more pleasing to the eye. And the box is really a nice touch too. So what more needs to be said than invest in a copy of this superb Beatrix Potter presentation box.
