After feasting on vegetables, Peter is spotted by Mr. McGregor and chased all around the garden. A sequel to the story, The Tale of Benjamin Bunny, was published in 1904.

An unnamed adult male rabbit in a blue coat, who is probably Peter, appears in The Tale of Kitty-in-Boots (written in 1914 but not published until 2016). Peter Rabbit appears in illustrations only in The Tale of Ginger and Pickles (1909). The Tale of Peter Rabbit is very popular throughout the world. The book has been translated into many languages, including Egyptian hieroglyphs (by the British Museum). The story has been adapted for film, television and radio.

  • The Tale of Peter Rabbit is a children's book written and illustrated by Beatrix Potter that follows mischievous and disobedient young Peter Rabbit as he is chased about the garden of Mr. McGregor. He escapes and returns home to his mother who puts him to bed after dosing him with camomile tea. The tale was written for five-year-old Noel Moore, son of Potter's former governess Annie Carter Moore, in 1893. It was revised and privately printed by Potter in 1901 after several publishers' rejections but was printed in a trade edition by Frederick Warne & Co. in 1902. The book was a success, and multiple reprints were issued in the years immediately following its debut. It has been translated into 36 languages and with 45 million copies sold it is one of the best-selling books of all time. The book has generated considerable merchandise over the decades since its release for both children and adults with toys, dishes, foods, clothing, videos and other products made available. Potter was one of the first to be responsible for such merchandise when she patented a Peter Rabbit doll in 1903 and followed it almost immediately with a Peter Rabbit board game. By making the hero of the tale a disobedient and rebellious little rabbit, Potter subverted her era's definition of the good child and the literary hero genre which typically followed the adventures of a brave, resourceful, young white male. Peter Rabbit appeared as a character in a 1971 ballet film, and the tale has been adapted to an animated television series.
