Customer Review: Having read several of Hemingway's longer novels (The Sun Also Rises, A Farewell to Arms and For Whom the Bell Tolls) I looked forward to this collection with great anticipation.

Customer Review: Who hasn't heard of Peter Rabbit? These are some of the best children's art and stories in the English language, presented in a single hardcover volume, with a nice slipcover covered by a sturdy hard box. What's not to love?

Customer Review: This book did not disappoint. Besides having a half dozen or more laugh-out-loud moments reading the book, the final page actually gave me chills and a sense that I had just read something of great literary value.
