116 years ago today, Beatrix Potter wrote her classic tale of Peter Rabbit. She sent it in a letter to the 5 year old son of her former governess. He was ill and she wanted to cheer him up and help him pass the time. The letter included illustrations so he could meet Flopsy, Mopsy, Cotton-tail and Peter face to face.
This classic tale may have had somewhat humble beginnings but since it's publication in 1902 it has been read by millions. Thanks, Miss Potter!
