The stories are arranged in the order in which they were first published to enable them to be read in proper sequence, as several are linked together by events and characters.

A section at the end of the book contains four additional works by Beatrix Potter that were not published in her own lifetime. The book is printed with an arlin (cloth-effect paper) cover and special endpapers; it is presented in a foiled giftbox which comes with two special edition prints of rarely seen Potter artwork. This collection of the full range of unabridged Beatrix Potter books is well worth purchasing for Christmas time. It contains all 23 of Potter's stories in chronological order with all of their original illustrations. Including four additional works by Beatrix Potter, an exquisite foiled gift box and two special, rare edition prints. A special and very impressive gift that will be treasured for a lifetime.
