These beautiful little books bring Beatrix Potters delightful characters to life with all the quality & bright colours of her original exquisite watercolours. Beatrix Potter gathered material for a book of rhymes over many years. In 1917, when her publisher was in financial difficulties & needed her help, she suggested that Appley Dapplys Nursery Rhymes could be brought out quickly, using her existing collection of rhymes & drawings. The fact that the illustrations were painted at different times explains why the style occasionally varies. Appley Dapplys Nursery Rhymes is number 22 in Beatrix Potters series of 23 little books.
