Produktbeschreibung

In "The Tale of Pigling Bland," Beatrix Potter weaves a charming narrative that follows the adventures of a young pig named Pigling Bland, who embarks on a journey to meticulously reclaim his lost identity as he resists the constraints of farm life. Written in Potter's signature lyrical prose and illustrated with her delicate watercolor art, this story exemplifies the early 20th-century children's literature that blends anthropomorphism with moral undertones, compelling readers to explore themes of independence, natural instincts, and the dichotomy between rural innocence and the complexities of adulthood. The tale not only entertains but also serves as a subtle critique of society'Äôs expectations and the pursuit of one'Äôs individual path. Beatrix Potter, an influential figure in children's literature, was inspired by her own pastoral childhood experiences and her strong affinity for nature and animals. Her upbringing in Victorian England, coupled with her extensive knowledge of botany and zoology, significantly shaped her storytelling, allowing her to create endearing characters that resonate with readers both young and old. Potter's background as an illustrator informs her detailed depictions of animal characters and their environments, bringing a sense of realism to her enchanting tales. I highly recommend "The Tale of Pigling Bland" to anyone who cherishes stories imbued with whimsical charm and heartfelt lessons. Potter's enchanting narrative style captivates the imagination, making this book a timeless classic suitable for both reading aloud to children and enjoying alone. Its rich illustrations and poignant themes make it a worthwhile addition to any literary collection.

Autorenporträt

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.
