The Tale of Peter Rabbit
The book about a naughty rabbit named Peter is exceptional for many reasons. It?s the first book written by relatively unknown author, which started a successful series of books and many products with hundreds of millions sold items.
The Beatrix Potter?s Peter Rabbit is not only a breakthrough for her, but also a cornerstone for whole new direction of picture books publishing. In 19th century there was pretty clear distinction between writers and illustrators. After 1902, when The Tale of Peter Rabbit was first published, new generation of picture books, where author of text and pictures is the same person became very acceptable and welcomed standard.
Helen Beatrix Potter was talented artist and scientist with great private education. All these resulted in very versatile works among which Peter Rabbit has a very special place. It started as an illustrated  letter to a sick kid (child of her ex governess). Potter, encouraged by selling few illustrations before, tried expanded a story into a picture book, but couldn?t find a publisher. So she self-published it for friends and family only in 1901. It was black and white edition with 250 copies. When editors at Frederick Warne & Co saw the booklet, decided to publish it, despite the fact they already rejected Potter?s proposition before.
First edition of The Tale of Pater Rabbit in 1902 was immediate bestseller and Beatrix potter used the same characters in few more picture books. She wrote 26 of them altogether before she died at the age of 77. Next set of illustrations comes from her first an the most popular book, sold in more than 40 millions of copies.
