The Tale of Benjamin Bunny is a charming sequel to The Tale of Peter Rabbit.

In this story, Peter Rabbit’s adventurous cousin, Benjamin Bunny, convinces a reluctant Peter to return to Mr. McGregor’s garden to reclaim the clothes Peter lost during his previous escapade.

Their daring trip quickly turns into a series of scrapes and close calls, as they scurry through the dangerous garden, dodge the household cat, and narrowly avoid the watchful Mr. McGregor.

Eventually, they’re rescued by Benjamin’s stern but caring father, who teaches the wayward bunnies a gentle lesson on the importance of caution.

Beatrix Potter’s classic illustrations and playful storytelling make The Tale of Benjamin Bunny a delightful continuation of Peter Rabbit’s adventures.

“In Which We Are Introduced to Winnie-the-Pooh and Some Bees, and the Stories Begin”

In this opening chapter, we meet Winnie-the-Pooh—also called Edward Bear—as he comes downstairs behind his friend, Christopher Robin.

We learn how Pooh got his name and then follow his first adventure in the Hundred Acre Wood: an attempt to get honey from bees high in a tree. With Christopher Robin’s help (and a balloon), Pooh tries to disguise himself as a “little black cloud.”

The bees, however, grow suspicious, and Christopher Robin must pop the balloon so Pooh can float safely down.

This humorous escapade ends with Pooh’s arms stuck up from holding the balloon string for so long, perfectly capturing the lighthearted tone and gentle mischief that will characterize the rest of the stories.

The Tailor of Gloucester follows the plight of a kind-hearted but impoverished tailor who receives a prestigious commission: to create a magnificent coat (and matching waistcoat) for the Mayor’s wedding day.

Just when success seems within reach, the weary tailor falls ill and frets he’ll never finish in time. Enter the clever, grateful mice whom the tailor once saved from his cat, Simpkin. While the tailor recuperates, these tiny allies secretly toil by candlelight, stitching intricate buttonholes and adding fine details.

But a missing twist of silk thread leaves a delicate finishing touch undone.

With Beatrix Potter’s trademark warmth and whimsy, this charming tale weaves together themes of generosity, gratitude, and the power of small kindnesses—perfect for listeners of all ages.

*Apologies for mispronouncing Gloucester, which should be pronounced “glaa-ster” vs “glouster”.
