From the Author:
Little could I have imagined that a playful act to keep me awake one evening while driving home would result in the creation of a whole new world, the world of "Hidden Forest". Of course, it took the genius of Leslie Tryon to make it true. I'm frequently asked how I came up with the idea for Peter Rabbit. It happened without planning. Driving home, afraid to fall sleep while driving after a long day of classes, I would dictate into my tape recorder, notes to myself and to my students. Once, just for fun I started talking with the voices of pigs and wolves. Many months later, when I accidentally discovered the recording, I realized there was a book to be written.
I will always be thankful to Jonathan Lohnman for beginning the collaboration with Leslie Tryon. Dear Peter Rabbit has been followed by Yours Truly, Goldilocks, in Spanish Atentamente, Ricitos de Oro; With Love, Little Red Hen, and Extra! Extra! Fairy-tale News from Hidden Forest, in Spanish ¡Extra! ¡Extra! Noticias del Bosque Escondido.
What a marvelous adventure it has been to create this Hidden Forest world! And what a welcomed surprise that this book has been published in Korea, translated to the Korean language.
