The Tale of Peter Rabbit The basic pattern followed in The Tale of Peter Rabbit and other Easy Speedy Readers® presents the text in NuSpel first, then in OldSpell with pronuciation guides in NuSpel, and finally in OldSpell. An effort is made to enliven every text with illustrations which also help learners to readily grasp and retain meanings. Additionally these afford opportunities for interaction through questions and comments based on them. One of the most beloved children's story of all times (now in the public domain), The Tale of Peter Rabbit is a perfect choice for painlessly and expeditiously imparting reading skills.
