New Book By Beatrix Potter Discovered

After more than 100 years since her last book was published, a new Beatrix Potter tale has been discovered. The best part, there's a special guest appearnce from an older Peter Rabbit! Kitty-in-Boots was rediscovered by publisher Jo Hanks after she read a refernece to it an old Potter biography. In Beatrix's own words, Kitty-in-Boots is about "a well-behaved prime black Kitty cat, who leads rather a double life".

In the publisher's search of the Victoria and Albert Museum archive, three manuscripts were found, written in shcool notebooks, including a rough color sketch of Kitty-in-Boots, a pencil sketcy of villain Mr. Tod, and a dummy book with some of the manuscript laid out.
