What do the conditions mean?

  • Almost New - appears new but is actually secondhand.
  • Very Good - only minor imperfections such as minor scuffs to edge or cover or a price written in pencil or shop sticker.
  • Standard Secondhand - Clearly been read before, but not too bad. We do not recommend these for gifting. Spines usually creased. Could also include creases or folds to cover, some writing such as in the cover or elsewhere, underlining or highlighting, but might not do. Possibly some stains or marks. Similar in general to books in any secondhand shop or charity shop.
  • Poor Condition - Usually this will have a specific problem such as writing inside, water damage, missing dust jacket, heavy staining, large creases or cuts. These are readable copies but not nice ones. On other websites this condition is called 'Acceptable' or 'Fair' , but we want to be more honest.

Beatrix Potter's famous tale of a naughty squirrel who loses his tail is as popular today as it was when it was first published over 100 years ago.

Join Nutkin, his brother Twinkleberry, & all his cousins as they traverse to Owl Island to gather nuts. See what happens when Old Brown, the terrifying owl guardian of the island decides he has had it with silly Nutkin's cheekiness! Ouch!!

Beatrix Potter is still regarded as one of the world's best-loved children's authors of all time. From her first book, 'The Tale of Peter Rabbit', published by Frederick Warne in 1902, she went on to create a series of stories based around animal characters including Mrs. Tiggy-winkle, Benjamin Bunny, Jemima Puddle-duck, Mr. Jeremy Fisher and Tom Kitten.

Her humorous, lively tales and beautiful illustrations have become a natural part of childhood. With revenue from the sales of her books, Beatrix Potter bought a farm—Hill Top—in the English Lake District, where she later became a farmer and prize-winning sheep breeder.

Today, Beatrix Potter's original 23 tales are still published by Frederick Warne. 'The Tale of Squirrel Nutkin' is number two in Beatrix Potter's series of 23 little books.
