This is a small hardcover book with a copyright of 1917. That does not mean it was made in 1917 but it does seem be fairly old.
It was written by Louise A. Field line drawings by Virginia Albert. There are also full color plates by Ernest Aris.
Noting that it was not written by Beatrice Potter it was because her publishing company failed to secure the rights in the US.
This book has all the same characters aside from the dreaded Farmer McGregor.
The book is about 7" x 5".
Wonderful

Not only was the story and the characters' plagiarised from Potter but the colour plates by Ernest Aris were also stolen from his book "Billie Rabbit". Not only did this book play on the characters by Beatrix Potter but in a quirk of fate Aris was subsequently commissioned by Beatrix to do some illustration's for her.
