Beatrix Potter's first book 'The Tale Of Peter Rabbit' was published in 1902 and has enraptured England ever since. It is a book that most are familiar and grew up with, myself included! What many don't know is that she experienced much difficulty finding a publisher for this book, six rejected her manuscripts until she was eventually accepted by Frederick Warne & Co, who previously declined but then had a change of heart. She then went on to produce twenty two more 'Little Tales' after its success, all produced by Warne.
