The Tales of Beatrix Potter (Omnibus)
Stories from the celebrated children's author. With Johnny Vegas, Reece Shearsmith, Morwenna Banks and Chris Addison. From 2013.
Five stories from celebrated children's author, Beatrix Potter - old favourites and some lesser known tales:
1. The Tale of Pigling Bland
Two young pigs embark on an adventure on the way to market. Starring Johnny Vegas and Morwenna Banks.
2. The Tale of Peter Rabbit
If there's one thing we should all know - it's NOT to go into Mr McGregor's garden. Starring Chris Addison.
3. The Tale of Jemima Puddleduck
Jemima looks for a quiet place to lay her eggs away from the farmer’s wife. Starring Janine Duvistki.
4. The Tale of Mr Tod
Tommy Brock the Badger and Mr Tod the fox are old enemies. Stars Seymour Mace and John Henshaw.
5. The Tale of Ginger and Pickles
A terrier and a ginger cat run a shop – mainly on credit. Stars Reece Shearsmith and John Henshaw.
Potter's love of the British landscape and its inhabitants - coupled with her world famous ability for storytelling - means she's been one of our most celebrated children's authors.
The timeless wonders of her stories pit the delight and childlike innocence of the very human characters against the dark and dramatic ruthlessness of the food-chain-led underbelly of Cumbria's fields and hedgerows.
