For English people Beatrix Potter (1866–1943) is as famous as L.Carroll and A.A.Milne. We hardly know her fairy tales: in spite of their simplicity, her wonderful stories about rabbits, mice, frogs, and squirrels are very difficult to translate – they are full of idioms, puns and lambent humour. Graham Greene called Beatrix Potter "Children' Jane Austen" for deep understanding of the human nature, soft irony, ideal language and style. The collection The Great Big Treasury of Beatrix Potter contains her best fairy tales that have been stealing a way to little readers' hearts for almost one hundred years already.

The Tale of Peter Rabbit is a British children's book written by Beatrix Potter that follows mischievous and disobedient young Peter Rabbit as he is chased about the garden of Mr. McGregor. He escapes and returns home to his mother, who puts him to bed after dosing him with tea. The tale was written for five-year-old Noel Moore, son of Potter's former governess Annie Carter Moore, in 1893. It was revised and privately printed by Potter in 1901 after several publishers' rejections, but was printed in a trade edition by Frederick Warne & Co. in 1902. The book was a success, and multiple reprints were issued in the years immediately following its debut. It has been translated into 36 languages, and, with 45 million copies sold, it is one of the best-selling books of all time.
