Geocache Description:

The Tale of Peter Rabbit (1902) is a British children's book written and illustrated by Beatrix Potter that follows mischievous and disobedient young Peter Rabbit as he is chased about the garden of Mr McGregor.

Plot:

The story focuses on a family of rabbits, the widowed mother rabbit cautioning her young against entering a vegetable garden grown by a man named Mr McGregor, telling them: "your Father had an accident there; he was put in a pie by Mrs McGregor". Whereas her three daughters obediently refrain from entering the garden, going down the lane to pick blackberries, her rebellious son Peter enters the garden to snack on some vegetables. Peter ends up eating more than is good for him and goes looking for parsley to cure his stomach ache. However, Peter is spotted by Mr McGregor and loses his jacket and shoes while trying to escape. He hides in a watering can in a shed but then has to run away again when Mr McGregor finds him and ends up completely lost. After sneaking past a cat Peter sees the gate where he entered the garden from a distance and heads for it, despite being spotted and chased by Mr McGregor again. He finds difficulties in wriggling beneath the gate, but manages to escape the garden only to spot his abandoned clothing articles being used to dress Mr McGregor's scarecrow. After returning home, a sick Peter is sent to bed by his mother whereas his well-behaved sisters receive a sumptuous dinner of milk and berries as opposed to Peter's supper of chamomile tea.
