Product description

From the Inside Flap

When Miss Kitty sneaks out to go hunting in her beautiful boots she gets herself into all sorts of scrapes, but on this particular night she meets the foxiest hunter of them all - Mr. Tod!

This utterly entertaining tale is filled with mistaken identities, devious villains and even an appearance from Peter Rabbit.

Told with Beatrix Potter's trademark dry humour and wry observations, this brilliant tale is sure to become as popular as her original classics and is illustrated by the best-loved Quentin Blake.

About the Author

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 (1902) she went on to create a series of stories based around animal characters including Mrs Tiggy-winkle, Mr Jeremy Fisher and Tom Kitten. Her humorous, lively tales and beautiful illustrations have become a natural part of childhood.
A source of inspiration was the Lake District where she lived for the last thirty years of her life as a farmer and conservationist.



Quentin Blake has illustrated more than three hundred books and was Roald Dahl's favourite illustrator. In 1980 he won the prestigious Kate Greenaway Medal. In 1999 he became the first ever Children's Laureate and in 2013 he was knighted for services to illustration.

I absolutely adore Beatrix. I have for most of my life. However, this book does not feel as if Beatrix wrote it, somehow. I was wondering if it were a hoax. Quentin Blake's illustrations are clever, but are certainly not at all right for a Beatrix Potter book. This and the large size of the book, ( Beatrix's little books are the usual format for
her work ), have lead me to further wonder about the authorship of the book. It lacks the charm, the language style, the flow, the fun and the cleverness of Beatrix Potter. I do not really want to complain. It was wonderful to have a new found tale after all this time.

Breathtakingly disappointing. Knowing that there would be no Potter illustrations, still ordered this believing the illustrator would surely seek to respect the spirit of Potter's style. I do not see any such respect, rather, contempt at worst and disregard at best. Also, the story does not quite ring of Potter for some reason. Maybe the illustrations cloud my perspective.

Excellent tale and brilliant illustrations. Has a similar feel yet different to the Beatrix Potter originals.

High quality hardback book. The story is quite entertaining, but not Beatrix Potter's best. It almost feels like it was waiting to be re-drafted.
