I read and reviewed each of the four stories in this collection separately, so this is really just for my own records. Normally, in any Beatrix Potter collection, I would say that the stand-out feature is the artwork, and Potter is undoubtedly a highly talented artist. The pictures are so detailed, and so charming, that they're a pleasure to look at. In this collection, however, it is overshadowed - at least for me - because included in these tales is my most favourite Potter story ever, the deeply creepy Tale of Samuel Whiskers, which will never get anything less than 5 stars from me, ever. Miss Moppet and Squirrel Nutkin both earned 4 stars, and The Fierce Bad Rabbit 3, as it was fun but rather slight. Collection rating therefore averages out to 4 stars.
