Q & A with Emma Thompson

Would Nanny McPhee approve of this new book? I think she would

do you think it might be time for Peter to have a girlfriend or perhaps a boyfriend?

Hello Emma. I wonder, do you remember your first meeting with Peter Rabbit, or was he always 'just there' with you from when you were a child and you have no memory of how or when he came into your life?

Gally check out the link here and you may be reassured.

I have just googled you and gone into Penguin Publishers and found that 'Two sumptious new Peter Rabbit Books' will be available, but not yet, to the public for the magnificent sum of £110 . Crikey Emma - poor Beatrix Potter must only have dreamed of a sum like that . I'm not sure what to think about a new Peter book. I think things are well left alone. I have read one or two other follow-ups by modern authors and have felt - well - disappointed. I'm sure it will be a lovely tale but I think I am inclined to say just let Peter Rabbit remain the Peter Rabbit we Grans have in our minds and let him rest! (Although once I have read/seen the book I may change my mind.........

will Peter visit Balmoral to see the Queen and sample the carrots in the kitchen garden?

Could Peter .......... is what it should of said..

Could join in the Rabbit Highland Games I wonder? can't you just see all those rabbits with their kilts on?

I wonder if Peter Rabbit will go to Edinburgh Zoo to visit the Pandas

Will Peter see the Loch Ness monster?

Is he going to meet 'The old man of lochmaghar?'

Did you always picture Peter Rabbit going to Scotland when you read it as a child?
