Confession – when I was a kid I read Beatrix Potter like there was no tomorrow. I still own a Peter Rabbit soap dish. I kid you not.
And now the BBC reports that Emma Thompson, the delightfully funny actress and writer (Sense and Sensibility, Nanny McPhee), is going to pen a NEW Peter Rabbit story, in honor of the 110th anniversary of Beatrix Potter’s original story.
Hearing that just makes me smile.
Thompson says she plans to take Peter Rabbit to Scotland. Look for the book in 2012.
