Tom and his sisters look so smart in their new clothes. When their mother sends them outside while she waits for her visitors, she couldn't possibly guess what kind of mess they are going to get themselves into!

It's been 110 years since Frederick Warne published Beatrix Potter's very first book, "The Tale of Peter Rabbit", and in celebration, we are delighted to be publishing special editions of her entire body of work. Unlike the traditional little white books, these editions have delightful colourful covers and specially designed endpapers. And to make them extra special, we have included a publisher's note to tell you all about the history of how each book came to be. "The Tale of Tom Kitten" is set in the cottage garden Beatrix created herself at Hill Top, the farm she owned near the village of Sawrey. "The Tale of Tom Kitten" is number eight in Beatrix Potter's series of 23 little books.

堪称绘本鼻祖的彼得兔系列，在西方被称为经典中的经典,百年来长销不衰,作者毕翠克丝·波特也因此让全世界的读者为她着迷。自1902年发表第一个故事到今天，她的故事几乎被翻译成每一个主要语种，年年印刷，版本无数。在英语国家，几乎每一个孩子都有过一两本她的书。人们不仅仅喜欢她的精妙幽默的文字,还同样热爱她手绘的精彩、绚丽、生动的图画。也正是从"彼得兔系列"开始,孩子和成人开始因为同样的理由而喜欢同一种图书。
