Representaion Concering Books The Tale of Squirrel Nutkin (The World of Beatrix Potter: Peter Rabbit)
The Tale of Squirrel Nutkin is an original classic by Beatrix Potter.Beatrix Potter's famous tale of a naughty squirrel who loses his tail is as popular today as it was when it was first published over 100 years ago. Join Nutkin, his brother Twinkleberry and all his cousins as they make their way over to Owl Island to gather nuts. See what happens when Old Brown, the terrifying owl guardian of the island decides he has had enough of silly Nutkin's cheekiness! Ouch!!
Beatrix Potter is regarded as one of the world's best-loved children's authors of all time. From her first book, The Tale of Peter Rabbit, published by Frederick Warne in 1902, she went on to create a series of stories based around animal characters including Mrs. Tiggy-winkle, Benjamin Bunny, Jemima Puddle-duck, Mr. Jeremy Fisher and Tom Kitten.
Her humorous, lively tales and beautiful illustrations have become a natural part of childhood. With revenue from the sales of her books, Beatrix Potter bought a farm - Hill Top - in the English Lake District, where she later became a farmer and prize-winning sheep breeder. She launched the now vast merchandise programme by patenting the very first Peter Rabbit doll in 1903. The product range continues to grow today with licences around the world including baby clothing and bedding, nursery decor products and collectables. Upon her death, Beatrix Potter left 14 farms and over 4000 acres of Lake District farmland to the National Trust so that the place that she loved would remain undeveloped and protected for future generations to enjoy.
Today Beatrix Potter's original 23 tales are still published by Frederick Warne, alongside a wide range of other formats including baby books, activity books and gift and sound books.
The Tale of Squirrel Nutkin is number two in Beatrix Potter's series of 23 little books. Look out for the rest!

My curiosity was sparked by another review bemoaning this tales cruelty and its disparaging message to children. I can see where that reviewer is coming from. After all, in the end poor Squirrel Nutkins tail is broken in two, not to mention his spirit. Yet one cant help but wonder about the continuing popularity of a book first published in 1903. There must be some redeeming value to this short tale. I think your enjoyment of the story depends on how you view Squirrel Nutkin. Is he a friskyIn its day, this was a cautionary tale about the need for rambunctious kids to have good manners. Nutkin's behaviour was comic because in those days it would have been unthinkable for most middle-class kids to act like that in the presence of an older adult (Brown Owl is obviously an elderly Victorian gent such as grandfather or wealthy uncle). When the owl gets sick of the squirrelly brat's antics, he "puts him in his waistcoat pocket". I've often wanted to do that with certain spoiled toddlers

Hands down my favourite Beatrix Potter. I love the contrast between the obedient, conventional squirrels and the rambunctious, pesky but hilarious Nutkin. The illustrations of Nutkin peering round corners and brazenly teasing the menacing Old Brown are wonderful.
This is a tale about a tail! It is a tail that belonged to a little red squirrel called Nutkin.Nutkin has a brother called Twinkleberry and he also has a great many cousins and they all live in a wood at the edge of a lake, in the middle of which is an island covered with trees and nut bushes. And among the trees there is a hollow oak tree in which an owl named Old Brown lives.One autumn when the nuts are ripe Nutkin and all the other squirrels make little rafts out of twigs and paddle over to
My kid's grandma bought us a 12 book set of the original Beatrix Potter books. I'll be reviewing them at random and out of order.This one has a real meanness to it. A lot of the Beatrix Potter books have some cruelty but maybe this is the worst in the set we have.There are lovely illustrations of the squirrels crossing the water on little rafts. But the general premise just feels so old school to me. Squirrel nutkin wants to play and tell riddles during whatever harvest pilgrimage the squirrels
