5.0 out of 5 stars A classic for slightly older children, October 12, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: The Tailor of Gloucester (The 23 Tales No.3) (Hardcover)

This is my favorite of the Beatrix Potter books, and I probably read all of them as a child. It's ideal for a slightly older child. A very sweet story of a tailor, his cat, and a group of mice who save his business when he is too ill to work.

H. Buning "harmgb2" (Texas) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: The Tailor of Gloucester (Hardcover)

It would be almost impossible to pick a favorite of the Beatrix Potter books, but if I had to, this would be it. The story and the artwork combine to make a perfect children's (or adult's)book.

This review is from: The Tailor Of Gloucester (1903) (Paperback)

The books are in wonderful condition but I was disappointed to see that the illustrations are in black and white.
