- The Tale of The Flopsy Bunnies is a children's book written and illustrated by Beatrix Potter, and first published by Frederick Warne & Co. in July 1909. After two full-length tales about rabbits, Potter had grown weary of depicting lagomorphs, and initially did not want to create another rabbit story. She realized however that children enjoyed her rabbit stories and pictures best, and reached back to characters and plot elements from The Tale of Peter Rabbit (1902) and The Tale of Benjamin Bunny (1904) to create The Flopsy Bunnies. A semi-formal garden of archways and flowerbeds in Wales at the home of her uncle and aunt became the background for the illustrations. In The Flopsy Bunnies, Benjamin Bunny and his cousins Peter and Flopsy are adult rabbits. Benjamin and Flopsy are married, and the parents of six children called simply The Flopsy Bunnies. Food is not always readily available to the large family and they are forced to resort to Mr. McGregor's rubbish heap of rotten vegetables for sustenance. Mr. McGregor catches the six Flopsy Bunnies after they fall asleep in the rubbish heap and puts them in a sack, intending to sell them for tobacco. When McGregor is distracted for a moment, the sextet is freed by Thomasina Tittlemouse, a woodmouse, and the sack filled with rotten vegetables by Benjamin and Flopsy. At home, Mr. McGregor receives a sharp scolding from his wife when she discovers the vegetables and believes her husband is playing a trick on her. Modern critical commentary varies. One critic points out that the faces of the rabbits are expressionless while another argues that the cock of an ear or the position of a tail conveys what the faces lack. One critic believes the tale lacks the vitality of The Tale of Peter Rabbit which sprang from a picture and story letter to a child. Most agree though that the depictions of the garden are exquisite and some of the finest illustrations Potter created.
- La Famille Flopsaut est un livre pour enfants écrit et illustré par Beatrix Potter paru en juillet 1909 chez Frederick Warne & Co. Après les deux longs contes Pierre Lapin (The Tale of Peter Rabbit, 1902) et Jeannot Lapin (The Tale of Benjamin Bunny, 1904), Beatrix Potter se lasse des histoires de lapins et ne veut plus écrire d'histoires sur ces animaux. Cependant, elle s'aperçoit que ces histoires, et les illustrations qui les accompagnent plus encore, ont un franc succès chez les enfants. Elle décide alors de reprendre les personnages et l'intrigue des contes précédents pour créer La Famille Flopsaut. Le jardin de sa tante et de son oncle, situé au pays de Galles et mêlant parterres de fleur, buissons, potager et arcades, l'inspire pour le décor de ce conte. Dans La Famille Flopsaut, Jeannot Lapin, son cousin Pierre et sa cousine Flopsaut sont devenus adultes. Jeannot et Flopsaut sont mariés et parents de six petits lapins appelés simplement les « lapins Flopsaut ». Du fait du manque de nourriture pour pouvoir aux besoins de cette grande famille, ils se rendent sur le tas d'ordure où Monsieur McGregor jette ses légumes pourris afin de s'en nourrir. M. McGregor capture les six petits Flopsaut après que ceux-ci se sont endormis sur le tas d'ordure, les enferme dans un sac avec l'intention de les revendre pour s'acheter du tabac. Alors que M. McGregor est distrait, les six petits sont libérés par Madame Trotte-Menu, un mulot, et le sac rempli de légumes pourris par Jeannot et Flopsaut. Une fois rentré chez lui, M. McGregor annonce à sa femme qu'il ramène des lapins. Quand celle-ci s'aperçoit du contenu du sac, elle croit que son mari se moque d'elle et le réprimande sévèrement. Les critiques modernes diffèrent. Pour les uns, les visages des lapins sont trop inexpressifs, pour les autres, la position des oreilles ou de la queue compensent ce que les visages n'expriment pas. Une critique pense que ce conte n'a pas autant de vitalité que Pierre Lapin, qui est né d'une image et d'une lettre écrite à un enfant. La plupart sont cependant d'accord sur le fait que les représentations du jardin sont exquises et font partie des meilleurs illustrations créées par Beatrix Potter.
