Pigling Bland is one of Aunt Pettitoes' piglets who goes out to make his way in the English countryside. On his journey he sees a signpost, meets other animals and gets to know the piglet Pig-wig. Potter's watercolour illustrations, inspired by the pigs on her own farm, recreate that rural world.
The work was first published in 1913; this edition is from 1994. Authorised original edition with new colour reproductions. It belongs to the series of twenty-three little books by Potter.
Intended for early readers and for lovers of Beatrix Potter's classic tales.
Helen Beatrix Heelis, usually known as Beatrix Potter, was an English writer, illustrator, natural scientist, and conservationist. She is best known for her children's books featuring animals, such as The Tale of Peter Rabbit, which was her first commercially published work in 1902. Her books, including The Tale of Jemima Puddle Duck and The Tale of Tom Kitten, have sold more than 250 million copies. An entrepreneur, Potter was a pioneer of character merchandising. In 1903, Peter Rabbit was the first fictional character to be made into a patented stuffed toy, making him the oldest licensed character.
