THE TALE OF BENJAMIN BUNNY
By Beatrix Potter
Previous Next


THAT wood was full of rabbit holes; and in the neatest, sandiest hole of all lived Benjamin’s aunt and his cousins--Flopsy, Mopsy, Cotton-tail, and Peter.

Old Mrs. Rabbit was a widow; she earned her living by knitting rabbit-wool mittens and muffatees (I once bought a pair at a bazaar). She also sold herbs, and rosemary tea, and rabbit-tobacco (which is what we call lavender).

LITTLE Benjamin did not very much want to see his Aunt.

He came round the back of the fir-tree, and nearly tumbled upon the top of his Cousin Peter.
