The Tale of Benjamin Bunny by Beatrix Potter

Benjamin Bunny, the cousin of Peter Rabbit, was inspired in a real rabbit, the first that belonged to Beatrix Potter. "He is an abject coward", she wrote, "but believes in bluster, could stare our old dog out of countenance, chase a cat that has turned tail." He was also a very handsome rabbit.

The Tale of Benjamin Bunny is an original classic by Beatrix Potter.


Peter Rabbit's cousin, Benjamin Bunny, has been a very popular character since this book's first publication in 1904. In this tale we hear all about his and Peter's adventures in Mr McGregor's vegetable garden, and what happens to them when they meet a cat! Even more frightening, is what happens to the two pesky bunnies when Old Mr Benjamin Bunny finds out what they have been up to! Beatrix Potter is regarded as one of the world's best-loved children's authors of all time.
