A "new" Beatrix Potter story found in a museum more than 100 years after it was written is to be published for the first time, with a cameo by Peter Rabbit. "The Tale of Kitty-in-Boots," featuring the exploits of "a well-behaved prime black Kitty cat, who leads rather a double life" was penned by the much-loved children's author in 1914. But the story never made it into print; Potter had completed the text and begun work on the illustrations when, she later explained, "interruptions began." Those interruptions -- from the outbreak of World War I to marriage, illness and a growing interest in farming -- meant that the book remained unfinished. |
