The Christmas Tale of Peter Rabbit by Emma Thompson
Tuesday, November 19, 2013
Penguin, hardback, £12.99
Peter Rabbit and his cousin Benjamin Bunny meet William the Turkey when running errands for their mothers. Normally pompous, William turns decidedly pale when the rabbits reveal the real meaning of Mr and Mrs McGregor ‘having him for dinner’.
The rabbits decide it is time to save William, but where can you hide a turkey with such a fan of black feathers? (To see the inspiration for William, visit www.yewtree-farm.com, where there lives a real turkey by the same name.)
