A sweet, slow-paced collection of tales. This was definitely a glimpse into another time. I found extra delight in some of the descriptions, as I had the chance to visit the Lake District earlier in the year.
I’ll admit that I prefer Potter’s shorter works, but The Fairy Caravan is good for a gentle meander.

I read this book out loud to my sweet little cousin, Joanna. It was as enchanting as Beatrix Potter’s Peter Rabbit stories. A charming illustrated children’s story with the beautiful language, delightful imagery, and very clear and imaginative love for nature that is characteristic of all of Beatrix Potter’s altogether sweet works and illustrations.

This is such a sweet, enchanting book! Great for anyone who wants a longer Beatrix Potter read, with a little bit more magic.

Blech ... we had to abandon this one after battling through about nine chapters. The last one that was about the lineage of Scottish sheep was too much. Like Shakespeare for the 12 and under crowd, the over the top whimsy that would be charming to some was downright frustrating for a read-aloud to a toddler. More dialogue than story, it just didn't capture us. Onward!

This one hasn't aged well, despite the cute title and premise. There is no plot to speak of and so much strange rah-rah about heritage livestock breeds? Also, enough harmful orientalism to warrant chucking this one.
