Proof Gold 50p & Book Gift Box – The Tale of Peter Rabbit
Description This proof gold 50p, dated 2018, comes in a limited edition gift box, along with a bespoke edition of Beatrix Potter’s classic book, *The Tale of Peter Rabbit.* In 1893 Beatrix sends a picture letter to her former governess’ son, where Peter Rabbit is first imagined. Beatrix was rejected by many publishers and in 1902 *The Tale of Peter Rabbit* is officially published by Frederick Warne & Co.. Peter Rabbit is a very cheeky and mischievous character, who loves to have fun with his friends. Children have resonated with the story and it has helped them to develop a natural curiosity about the world. The moral of *The Tale of Peter Rabbit* is that there are consequences to all of our actions and the importance of listening to directions to avoid dangers within the world. In 1903, the first doll is created. In 1905 Beatrix moved to Hill Top Farm in the Lake District, where she wrote many of her Tales.
