Beatrix Potter’s enchanting tales are given new life in this Audible exclusive production of The Beatrix Potter Collection.

Expertly narrated by Andrew Scott, the collection features some of the best loved characters and most popular stories in children’s literature. Beginning with a unique introduction, written and narrated by patron of the Beatrix Potter Society Patricia Routledge, the world of Beatrix Potter provides wonderful entertainment for the whole family, sure to delight listeners both young and old.

The Beatrix Potter Collection is perfect for introducing a new generation to the magic of her adored classic stories. Featuring her much-loved children’s tales and showcasing some of the most recognisable characters in English literature, it will enthral and entertain young listeners whilst providing warm nostalgia for those already acquainted.

The collection includes the classic tales of Peter Rabbit - a rebellious and disobedient young rabbit, Mrs Tiggy-Winkle - the diligent hedgehog washerwoman, Jemima Puddle-Duck - an innocent and loving mother duck, and many more as they cause mischief, confront danger and make new friends.

Deeply influenced by her natural science studies and her love of wildlife, Beatrix Potter’s relatable characters continue to charm and inspire a century after their first publication.

About the Author

Born on 28 July 1866, Helen Beatrix Potter, is one of the world’s best-selling and most-loved children’s authors.

Using this as inspiration, she began writing and illustrating children’s stories, self-publishing The Tale of Peter Rabbit in 1901, which became an immediate success. By her death in 1943, Beatrix Potter had written 30 books, the most popular of which were the children’s stories. Her works have been translated into more than 35 languages, sold over 100 million copies worldwide, and have been retold in song, film, ballet, and animation.

Scott x Potter = Charming beyond description

Listened to these recently as a bedtime listen with my wife and dog. Andrew does an amazing job of taking you through Potter's world of nature and brings the characters to life in an extraordinary way. More please?
