The Story of a Fierce Bad Rabbit by Beatrix Potter
4.0
Holy shit Beatrix.
I honestly don't know if I love this or am completely horrified. I've spoken at length in my previous reviews of the darkness in Beatrix's stories and how much I love it but I think this might be taking it slightly too far, especially considering this book is written for very, very young children compared with her other stories.
Obviously it is a tale about being nice and kind and if you're a horrible little childbunny you'll get your tail shot off, but it is a little bit missing the metaphor and going straight for the jugular, as it were. I think I love the bluntness but I would absolutely think twice about reading this to a child. Beatrix was an epic badarse no mistake. I believe she did not bear any children herself which probably explains a couple of things...
