Beatrix had a rabbit she named Peter and that was the inspiration for her letter/story. The book was published in 1902.

Happy Birthday, Peter
Peter Rabbit that is. Today marks 120th birthday of Peter Rabbit. On today in 1893 Beatrix Potter first told the story of Peter Rabbit in the form of a picture letter to Noel Moore, the son of Beatrix's former governess.

I like the story of Mrs Tiggywinkle because we own a miniature hedgehog! But I also have enjoyed all her others. We had a collection.
