Overview
When the tailor becomes sick and cannot finish the waistcoat for the Mayor, the mice finish it for him.
Publishers Description
To celebrate Peter's birthday, Frederick Warne is publishing new editions of all 23 of Potter's original tales, which take the very first printings of Potter's works as their guide. The aim of these editions is to be as close as possible to Beatrix Potter's intentions while benefiting from modern printing and design techniques.
The colors and details of the watercolors in the volumes are reproduced more accurately than ever before, and it has now been possible to disguise damage that has affected the artwork over the years. Most notably, The Tale of Peter Rabbit restores six of Potter's original illustrations. Four were sacrificed in 1903 to make space for illustrated endpapers, and two have never been used before. Of course, Beatrix Potter created many memorable children's characters, including Benjamin Bunny, Tom Kitten, Jemima Puddle-duck and Jeremy Fisher. But whatever the tale, both children and adults alike can be delighted by the artistry in Potter's illustrations, while they also enjoy a very good read. Because they have always been completely true to a child's experience, Potter's 23 books continue to endure. |

 | Christmas story Jan 13, 2010 |
| My family has read this book every Christmas Eve out loud since 1903 - never missed a Christmas. It is one of our family traditions and each child as they have grown up has gotten their own copy to read at their house. I remember my dad reading it, I read it to my kids, and now they are reading it on Christmas Eve too. My grandparents and then me much later even had a striped cat named Simpkin, A wonderful atory with beautiful illustrations. | | | | My favorite of the B. Potter books Jan 18, 2008 |
| It's such a sweet story, and the illustrations on this book are particularly lovely. I recommend it for you or a young friend. | | | | Wonderful memories Apr 11, 2007 |
| These books are are so beautifully written and create an imaginative world for your child. I have wonderful memories of these tales from my childhood and love introducing them to my children. They are timeless! | | | | Likewise Aug 1, 2004 |
| It would be almost impossible to pick a favorite of the Beatrix Potter books, but if I had to, this would be it. The story and the artwork combine to make a perfect children's (or adult's)book. | | | | A classic for slightly older children Oct 13, 2000 |
| This is my favorite of the Beatrix Potter books, and I probably read all of them as a child. It's ideal for a slightly older child. A very sweet story of a tailor, his cat, and a group of mice who save his business when he is too ill to work. | | | Write your own review about The Tailor of Gloucester
