Set of 21 Beatrix Potter Books

This item is a collection of 21 Beatrix Potter children's books, presented as a complete set. Based on the provided context, these editions are from 1989. Each book appears to be a small format hardcover with vibrant, uniformly colored spines. The colors visible include various shades of orange, reddish-pink, light blue, dark teal, and green, suggesting a cohesive, possibly re-designed, set from the publisher. The titles are printed vertically along the spine in a legible white or light-colored font. Recognizable titles from the OCR include 'The Tale of Peter Rabbit', 'The Tale of Benjamin Bunny', 'The Tale of Squirrel Nutkin', 'Cecily Parsley's Nursery Rhymes', 'The Tale of Mrs. Tiggy-Winkle', 'The Tale of Two Bad Mice', and 'The Tale of Ginger and Pickles'. The publisher 'Allen Publishers, Inc.' is faintly visible at the bottom of the spine on some books. The books are in good visible condition, standing upright without significant warping or damage to the spines, though a hand is holding them, slightly obscuring the top edges. There are no obvious signs of significant wear, tears, or repairs discernible from the image. The unified style and consistent color palette across the set indicate they were likely produced as a specific collection rather than individual releases. This set represents a classic body of children's literature, known for its timeless stories and illustrations.
