This is the Edition that was printed by Beatrix Potter before she could find a publisher, which finally occurred the following year.
While not exactly the version that would become known to children, it is still fun to see how history was first made.
This is facsimile of that very first edition, printed in 1901 at Potter\'s expense.
Soon after, a publisher was found and the illustrations were given color.
It was in black and white and initially only 250 copies were printed.
