The Tale of Pigling Bland -
Beatrix Potter
1913 - Frederick Warne and Co., London - First Edition
A scarce fine example of this wonderfully illustrated first edition with fifteen colour plates.
The Tale of Pigling Bland is based on two of Beatrix Potter’s pigs who she called Alexander and Pigling Bland, who were sold because food was running short and they had such big appetites ‘five meals a day and not satisfied’.
She also had a little black girl-pig (the inspiration for Pigling’s lady friend Pig-wig) who she ‘put it beside her bed and fed it herself night and day, until in the end it became her pet, and followed her everywhere indoors and out’.
