The Story of Miss Moppet
F. Warne & Co., 1906.
First edition, first issue. Folding panorama in original grey cloth wallet with writing in dark green and colour onlay of the cat to the upper flap. Mottled lavender endpapers. A very good copy, which is clean and crisp but lacks the lower portion of its tab. Internally fine, with all sections of the panorama uncreased.
Two of the Potter tales were first published in this panorama format, this one and "Miss Moppet". Once the panorama's reached the retailers it was immediately realised that, despite popularity, they were too difficult for small hands to cope with and the panoramas were being easily damaged. The panoramas were withdrawn and the two stories were reprinted 10 years later in book form. It is now very uncommon to find the panoramas in such nice condition.
