The Tailor of Gloucester

 

The Tailor of Gloucester is a Christmas children's book written and illustrated by Beatrix Potter, privately printed by the author in 1902, and published in a trade edition by Frederick Warne & Co. in October 1903. The story is about a tailor whose work on a waistcoat is finished by the grateful mice he rescues from his cat and was based on a real world incident involving a tailor and his assistants. For years, Potter declared that of all her books it was her personal favourite.
(In 1993, the tale was adapted to animation for the BBC anthology series, The World of Peter Rabbit and Friends.)
P.S. some editions of this book of different years are also presented.
