This longer than usual story brings back two of Beatrix Potter's most popular heroes, Peter Rabbit and Benjamin Bunny, in an adventure that also features two very disagreeable villains. Fortunately Tommy Brock the badger and Mr. Tod the fox dislike each other so much that Mr Tod unwittingly becomes the rabbits' ally.

The Tale of Mr Tod is number 14 in Beatrix Potter's series of 23.

First edition, first or second printing; 16mo (142 x 115 cm); 15 colour plates, plain title vignette, numerous black and white test illustrations and colour pictorial endpapers, all by Beatrix Potter; publisher's buff boards with inset colour illustration to upper cover, slight yellowing to spine and rear board, otherwise a fine copy.
