Looking good. No big issues, just some minor points before I can promote:

Lead
  • "The tale tells of a badger..." I don't really like 'tale tells'. Story might be a good alternative.

  Done I chose "The tale is about..." to rid the sentence of the "tee-tee" sound of "tale tells". Susanne2009NYC (talk) 17:26, 27 August 2010 (UTC)Reply

Background
  • "Following the acquisition of Hill Top Farm in Lancashire..." I thought it was Cumbria? I'm assuming it used to be in Lancashire - this should be clarified.

  • The first sentence is three lines long. Consider splitting it up.

  • What is the "Peter Rabbit saga"? I mean, are the books a series, or just similar format by the same author?

  Done Rewritten. Susanne2009NYC (talk) 17:26, 27 August 2010 (UTC)Reply

  • Is "well-behaved people" a scare quote, or someone's words?

Plot
  • Seems a bit short for what was one of her longest stories.

General
  • I've suggested you refer to Mr. Tod as a story. You've referring to it as a book and a tale. Whatever you use, be consistent and choose one.

  Done For Potter, tale and story were two different things. She preferred tale. Susanne2009NYC (talk) 17:26, 27 August 2010 (UTC)Reply

Images
  • Lots of pictures. It seems a bit crowded. Perhaps the pictures of the live animals could be removed, as they don't really add much imo.

  Done Deleted. Susanne2009NYC (talk) 17:26, 27 August 2010 (UTC)Reply

  • Check the source info, at least one has a broken link.
