And at the same time, I tell myself that maybe I wouldn't have appreciated the work that much. Would you consider the audio edition of Beatrix Potter: The Complete Tales to be better than the print version? I was not too familiar with Beatrix Potter when I started reading this book to my granddaughter Cora. I knew of Peter Rabbit and Jeremy Fisher but that's about it. Through this book I met a score of other delightful animal characters and was re-introduced to a few stories I've known for many years but did not kn0w came from Potter's pen. Et que dire ?

Et en même temps, je me dis que peut-être, je n'aurai pas autant apprécié l'oeuvre.

Even though I didn't love all the stories and rhymes, seeing all the lovely paintings and drawings by Potter was a delight.

One of the things I liked about this collection of Beatrix Potter stories, rhymes, and paintings is that before each there is text explaining a bit about the story such as when it was written, what was going on in her life at the time it was written, etc.I must admit that I absolutely didn't grow up knowing the work of Beatrix Potter. Later, I had heard about it, but still without really caring about it. It wasn't until a few months ago that I started to really take a look at it. And for my birthday I received the complete work (in French).
