維基關於The tale of Peter Rabbit的Publication history
The Tale of Peter Rabbit was first published in the United Kingdom by Frederick Warne & Co. as a small hardback book in October 1901; Potter created both the text and the illustrations.[2] The first edition had a print run of 250, with monochrome illustrations.[3] The demand was greater and she needed to print 200 more.[4] Warne published the first full-colour edition in 1902.[3] The blocks for the illustrations and text were sent to the printer Edmund Evans for engraving, and Potter adjusted the page proofs.[5] The book was soon on sale in shops in London, including Harrods department store, accompanied by the world's first licensed character, a soft toy of Peter Rabbit.[3] By December 1903 the book had sold 50,000 copies.[6] The book's success prompted Warne to obtain more stories from Potter, starting in 1903 with both The Tailor of Gloucester and The Tale of Squirrel Nutkin.[3]

The book has since been reprinted many times, and after 100 years had never gone out of print.[3][7] Warne did not copyright the book when it was published in the United States; unlicensed editions of the book were produced, the first published by Henry Altemus Company in 1904.[8] The book has been translated into 36 languages.[9] Over 45 million copies have been sold, making it one of the best-selling books in history.[10]
