$24.00
Step into the world of Hill Top Farm with this charming mid-century edition of "The Tale of Tom Kitten" by Beatrix Potter. Originally published in 1907, this specific copy was printed by Jarrold & Sons Ltd., Norwich (Ref: 889.1060) for Frederick Warne & Co., Ltd., likely dating to the 1950s or early 1960s.
Beatrix Potter revolutionized children's literature by insisting her "Little Books" be sized specifically for "small hands." This volume maintains that original design intent—a compact, tactile experience that feels as personal today as it did a century ago.

Illustrations: Contains the full suite of Potter’s delicate watercolor plates, known for their "English Cottage" vibrancy.
