Sono, queste, le storie del mondo di Beatrix Potter, la famosa disegnatrice e scrittrice di storie. I suoi personaggi si rincorrono da una storia all'altra e descrivono un piccolo mondo che, come un ologramma, ridisegna il mondo degli uomini adulti con le sue cattiverie e gentilezze; gli animali che percorrono le storie sono antropomorfizzati, ma, al contempo, interagiscono col mondo degli uomini in tutta la propria animalità: rischiano quindi di essere catturati e mangiati, e, nonostante i loro dialoghi e filastrocche vengano accuratamente descritti, si dice poi che essi possano parlare solo nella notte della vigilia di Natale.
