Her passion for the natural world lay behind the creation of her famous series of little books.* Beatrix Potter gathered material for a book of rhymes over many years. In 1917, when her publisher was in financial difficulties and needed her help, she suggested that Appley Dappley's Rhymes could be bought out quickly, using her collection of rhymes and drawings. The fact that the illustrations were painted at different times explains why the style occasionally varies.* This is volume 22 in the collection issued by Penguin as a boxed set in 2002.* A FINE copy of the 1st./1st, thus with no visible faults in a FINE dust jacket.* 22nd. of 23
