EDITORS COMMENTS
Pug Peter: The Rescue of Little Bunny" is an enchanting image from the Edwardian era, showcasing a brave band of mouse firemen in action. The year is 1905, and this scene is brought to life by the renowned children's author, Edith Nesbit, in her beloved Puggie stories. At the heart of the image is Pug Peter, the fearless leader of the mouse fire brigade, wearing his distinctive helmet and clutching a bucket. With unwavering determination, he and his fellow mouse firemen climb a rickety ladder, their tiny paws gripping the ropes with remarkable dexterity. Their mission: to save a small, terrified rabbit from the perils of a blazing fire. The rabbit, with wide, frightened eyes, clings to a tree branch, its tiny ears twitching with fear. The mouse firemen move swiftly and efficiently, their buckets filled with water, ready to douse the flames and ensure the safety of their fellow woodland creature. The children gathered around, their eyes wide with wonder and excitement, witnessing the heroic efforts of their tiny protectors. This heartwarming scene is a testament to the power of community, the strength of friendship, and the courage of the unlikely heroes that inhabit the pages of Edith Nesbit's timeless stories. This photograph, a precious relic from the past, offers a glimpse into the magical world of Pug Peter and his brave mouse fire brigade. It is a reminder of the enduring appeal of children's literature and the historical significance of the Edwardian era.
