Selected Tales by Beatrix Potter
3.0

Wee collection of four of Potter's picture books, which I read and reviewed separately so this is just for my own records. Rating is the average of individual star collections: the really rather boring (because so often told) Johnny Town-Mouse got two stars, the likeable Timmy Tiptoes and The Pie and the Patty Pan each earned three - but the best and most charming of the lot is of course Peter Rabbit, with four stars. As always, her illustrations are worth the price of admission alone, they're really better than the prose, which is perfectly adequate if not hugely inspiring.
