The Tale Of Benjamin Bunny (Annotated)

Differentiated book- It has a historical context with research of the timeBenjamin Bunny's Story is a children's book written and illustrated by Beatrix Potter, and first published by Frederick Warne & Co. in September 1904. The book is a sequel to The Tale of Peter Rabbit (1902), and tells of Peter's return to Mr. McGregor's garden with his cousin Benjamin to retrieve the clothes he lost there during his previous adventure. In Benjamin Bunny, Potter deepened the rabbit universe she created in Peter Rabbit, and in doing so suggested that the rabbit world was parallel to the human world but complete and sufficient in itself. In 1903 Potter and his publisher decided that his next book should be less complicated than his previous productions, and in Benjamin Bunny he created a simple didactic tale for young children.The book's master illustrations were based on various gardens on the Lake District estate in Fawe Park, where Potter spent the summer of 1903. He was sensitive to the openings and endings of his books, and insisted that Benjamin Bunny finish with the words " rabbit-tobacco ", a term that appropriated the stories of Joel Chandler Harris' uncle Remus, one of his literary heroes.
