The Tale of Peter Rabbit

The story follows a young boy who escapes and returns home, where his mother tends to him with tea. Originally written for Noel Moore in 1893, it faced initial rejections before being privately printed by Beatrix Potter in 1901 and later published by Frederick Warne & Co. in 1902. Its success led to numerous reprints, and it has been translated into 36 languages, selling 45 million copies, making it one of the best-selling books in history.
