В дружном семействе Грин все идет наперекосяк. С тех пор, как мистер Грин ушел сражаться на войну, дети - Норман, Мегси и Винсент - не перестают грустить и ругаться, дела не клеятся, ферма на грани разорения. А тут еще как назло пожаловали богатые кузены из Лондона, и дядя Фил ходит по пятам, уговаривая миссис Грин продать ферму, пока не поздно. Словом, все идет хуже некуда, пока однажды на пороге дома не появляется няня Макфи.
В этой книге автор соединила историю семьи Грин со своим личным дневником, который вела во время съемок нового фильма "Моя ужасная няня 2", где она сыграла главную роль.

"Rabbits are always very uppity during the Christmas season, and Peter Rabbit was no exception." Emma Thompson continues the adventures of Peter Rabbit in this super new Christmas tale featuring Peter, his comical little cousin Benjamin Bunny, and a certain feathered friend called William. Brilliantly told by Emma Thompson with charming illustrations by Eleanor Taylor, Peter Rabbit is back with an hilarious cast of characters. This time our story is set in Beatrix Potter's beloved Lake District. Now in mini-hardback format just like Beatrix Potter's original Tales.

In a follow-up to the cherished original "Tale of Peter Rabbit" by Beatrix Potter, "The Further Tale of Peter Rabbit" sees Peter on the quest for adventure. Sneaking into Mr McGregor's garden to steal a lettuce, the naughty little rabbit finds himself in a picnic basket heading all the way to Scotland, where he meets the large but kindly Finlay McBurney, a distant cousin. Far away from his cousin, Benjamin Bunny, and the Lake District setting of Beatrix Potter's classic tale, Peter Rabbit gets all the adventure he was looking for as he encounters a giant radish and even takes part in the Highland Games. Emma Thompson, Oscar-winning actress and screen writer ("Sense and Sensibility" and "Nanny McPhee"), is a long time admirer of Beatrix Potter's tales. She has a talent for creating engaging narratives with a dry humour similar to Potter's own and is the perfect choice of author for this new "Peter Rabbit" tale. Emma was inspired to set the tale in Scotland by her knowledge of Beatrix's childhood holidays there. Accompanied by a story CD, narrated by Emma herself, this wonderfully whimsical tale is perfect for "Peter Rabbit" fans old and new.
