Description: London: Frederick Warne and Co. [n.d. after 1913]. The First Book Form Edition of “The Story of a Fierce Bad Rabbit” POTTER, Beatrix. The Story of a Fierce Bad Rabbit. London: Frederick Warne and Co. [n.d. after 1913]. First edition in book form. Twelvemo (4 13/16 x 4 3/16 inches; 123 x 106 mm.). 52, [1], [1, blank] pp. Color frontispiece and fourteen color plates (included in pagination). Black and white vignette on title-page. Publisher's tan boards lettered in brown on front cover and spine. Color pictorial label (“repeated from ‘page’ [17] of the Fierce Bad Rabbit in wallet form, and from p. 36 in book form” and measuring 2 7/8 inches; 73 mm. in diameter) on front cover within a blind circular panel surrounded by a broad brown border. Color pictorial endpapers (Quinby Plates XII and XIII—earlier than those described in Quinby). Ink inscription on front free endpaper "Dec. 25th, 1917/To Mary/With love from Jack." A fine copy of this somewhat rare little book. The Story of a Fierce Bad Rabbit in book form is not listed in either the ECB (English Catalogue of Books) or USC (United States Catalogue of Books). “However, the glazed paper dust jacket on No. 11A advertising Miss Moppet and the Fierce Bad Rabbit as ‘now first published in book-form’ also lists Pigling Bland, which was published in 1913. It also gives the price for the ‘1st Series,’ in boards at 1/3. Up to 1913 this series had been listed at 1/-, so it is certain that Miss Moppet and the Fierce Bad Rabbit in book form were published during or after 1913” (Quinby 11A). The Story of a Fierce Bad Rabbit was written for Harold Warne's daughter, Louie, who had complained to the author that Peter Rabbit was much too good a rabbit, and she wanted a story about a really naughty one. Linder, p. 426. Quinby 12A. .
