"The Tale of Peter Rabbit" by Beatrix Potter is a children's book written and illustrated in 1893. The story follows mischievous young Peter Rabbit, who disobeys his mother's warning and sneaks into Mr. McGregor's vegetable garden. What begins as a quest for fresh vegetables quickly becomes a dangerous chase, as Peter must outwit the garden's owner to escape alive. His father wasn't so lucky—Mrs. McGregor baked him into a pie.
