| abstract | - Beatrix Potter died in 1943, leaving her literary estate and her cottage in the Lake District to the National Trust. Realising that no royalties are payable to authors sixty five years after their death, National Trust managers contacted Potter through a spiritualist to see if she would provide them with copyrightable material. Asked what death was like, Miss Potter replied "Rather like Llandudno, but warmer". After some negotiation, the author agreed to update her work on the understanding that it should be grittier than the original to reflect life in twenty first century Britain and yet retain the original sparsity of language and verse form. Beyond The Grave Publishing is proud to present "Peter Rabbit Re-animated" - the first posthumous retelling of Beatrix Potter's classic children's tales. Future re-issues will include: "The tale of binge-drinking Bobby", "Flopsy Bunny's myxomatosis diagnosis", "Unclean Pigling Bland and the suicide bomber", "Jemima Puddle-Duck and the incontinence clinic", and "Squirrel Fricase goes Cajun."
