In "The Further Tale of Peter Rabbit", a new tale written by Emma Thompson, Peter's adventures take him beyond the boundaries of Mr McGregor's garden all the way to Scotland. Here he meets the gentle giant Finlay McBurney, a distant Scottish relative, and much entertainment ensues. Emma Thompson, Oscar-winning actress and screen writer, is a long time admirer of Beatrix Potter's tales. She has a talent for creating engaging narratives with a dry humour similar to Potter's own and is the perfect choice of author for this new Peter Rabbit tale, to be published 110 years after the original. Emma was inspired to set the tale in Scotland by her knowledge of Beatrix's childhood holidays there.

Peter Rabbit
Peter Rabbit is the mischievous and adventurous main character in "The Tale of Peter Rabbit", a beloved childrens book written by Beatrix Potter. First published in 1902, Peter Rabbit is a young rabbit who lives with his mother and siblings, Flopsy, Mopsy, and Cotton-tail, in a cozy burrow under a large tree. Peter is best known for disobeying his mothers warning to stay away from Mr. McGregors garden, where his father had an unfortunate run-in with the farmer. Despite this, Peter sneaks into the garden, where he feasts on vegetables until he is spotted by Mr. McGregor. A frantic chase ensues, with Peter narrowly escaping after losing his jacket and shoes. Peter Rabbits character is charmingly naughty, and his adventures are often light-hearted yet filled with gentle lessons about the consequences of not listening to parental advice.
