Ill.: Beatrix Potter. Beatrix Potter The Story of Miss Moppet First Edition Second Issue Panorama Book 1906. History to The Story of Miss Moppet.

Each story contained fourteen pictures and fourteen pages of simple text. The pictures and text were arranged in pairs and were in panoramic form, mounted on a long strip of linen, and folded concertina-wise into a wallet with a tuck-in flap. Three stories were written in this form - The Story of the Fierce Bad Rabbit, The Story of Miss Moppet, and The Sly Old Cat; but only the first two were published..Towards the end of her life Beatrix Potter referred to this fact, saying, 'Bad Rabbit and Moppet were originally printed on long strips - The shops sensibly refused to stock them because they got unrolled and so bad to fold up again.'"
