ive recently decided that Beatrix Potter is unfit for children. First of all, in the tale of Peter Rabbit, the reason Peter Rabbit isn't supposed to go to this garden is because his father had an 'accident' there and was made into pie. I find that disgusting personally. And then, basically its a story about how Peter Rabbit, a clever and resourful bunny, manages to get some food and slip away from preditors, but ultimately his wussy siblings get dinner and he doesnt. So what is the moral of the story? You get punished for your parents misfortunes? Resourcefullness is bad, obedience rewarded? I have decided this is one book my children will have to discover for themselves. A shame, cos the pictures are pretty. n.
Today I was watching the Antique Roadshow, somewhere on the British/French boarder... anywho, so somebody had brought like abotu 20 odd drawrings by Potter, and each one was valued at so much monies... like 10,000 puond at least, and then the dude had framed a coupel of them, and they were worth 50,000 pounds...But the dude knew they were special and worth money, he wasn't surprised it was by Beatrix Potter, wouldnt that have made for good tv though? At least he didn't want to sell the pictures, not like all those people that bring in some peice of china from their great great great great great grandmother, that received it from the King of Siam, and they sell it for 600 pounds so they can go on a holiday to Spain.

For more basking in the glory of Beatrix Potter, you should read The Tale of One Bad Rat by Bryan Talbot.
