The Tale of Mr. Tod
1912
This isn't your grandmother's gentle bunny tale. When Tommy Brock the badger snatches Benjamin Bunny's children and storms into the home of his arch-enemy Mr. Tod, he unleashes a chain of chaos that neither villain anticipated. Peter Rabbit and Benjamin must navigate a world where the line between predator and prey blurs, as two of the most 'disagreeable' creatures in the English countryside tear each other apart. It's a darker, tenser Potter than most remember, full of genuine peril, cunning escapes, and the satisfying irony of villains too busy fighting each other to notice the rabbits under their noses. The result is one of her most propulsive adventures, where survival depends not on being the strongest, but on being the most patient.
