INSCRIBED BY BEATRIX POTTER
Peter Rabbit's Almanac
F. Warne & Co Ltd., 1929.
First edition. 12mo. Beige paper boards with lettering in brown and colour onlays of Peter delivering the mail on the covers. Inscribed by Beatrix Potter to the front endpaper, "For Mrs McIver, from Beatrix Potter, Aug. 23.29." Pictorial endpapers of little bunnies. Colour frontispiece of Peter Rabbit, colour title page vignette. Twelve colour plates, one for each month, with a separate page for the calendar surrounded by line drawings of bunnies. A very good copy, with some general light wear.
This was the only almanac to be produced by Potter. It took her a long time to get it how she wanted and as a result only this one was published. However, it is delightful. Due to the throw away nature of almanacs and diaries few copies of this book have survived.
