She wrote the majority of the twenty-three Original Peter Rabbit Books between 1901 and 1913.  The Tale of Peter Rabbit (Frederick Warne, 1902) is her most famous and best-loved tale.  \r\n\r\nThis is one of four known versions of ‘The Rabbit’s Dream’, all dating from 1895 to 1899. The rabbit shown here – thought to be Potter's pet rabbit, Peter Piper – sleeps in the No. 4 bedroom at Camfield Place. Potter slept in this room when visiting her grandparents before they died, and made a detailed pen and ink drawing of the room. \r\n\r\nFraming the central rabbit are numerous drawings of him sleeping in different positions, reflecting the many studies of her pets Potter made. \r\n","physicalDescription":"Pen and ink drawing with a central image showing a rabbit asleep in a bed.
