I think I may be sitting on a fortune...

Window shopping in an antiques shop today, I spotted a Peter Rabbit library, just like the one I have at home.  The books weren't in great condition - jackets torn, spines scrawled on, and so on.  And the shelf was a bit battered too.  I was shocked to see a price tag of £148.

Hmm.

What price my childhood?

How old were those? My daughter, who has and loves all things Peter Rabbit, has the set in tiny little books, still in their dust jackets and in the box. They're still in mint condition and now 25 years old, as they were a baby gift along with everything Wedgewood ever made of Peter Rabbit ware. She's the only 25 year old I know who still decorates her bedroom around Peter Rabbit.
