Memorable MilestonesThis fall brings an unusually bountiful harvest of titles celebrating the anniversary of a book's original publication or the introduction of a now familiar character. Treasured by generations of young readers, ever-youthful Peter Rabbit turns 100 this year, and Frederick Warne marks the occasion with the publication of new editions of all 23 of Beatrix Potter's original tales. Three-quarters of a century has passed since the Hardy Boys cracked their first case, and in honor of their continued sleuthing, S&S/Aladdin is releasing Franklin W. Dixon's The Hardys on Holiday: Collector's Edition, which rounds up three mysteries, as well as two new capers, Trick-or-Trouble and In Plane Sight, plus The Hardy Boys' Swell Guide to Life. Walter Brooks's Freddy the Pig also has a 75th birthday this year, and Overlook Press is bringing out two fall volumes, The Art of Freddy, with an introduction by Michael Cart; and The Freddy Anniversary Collection by Brooks, illustrated by Kurt Wiese. Also due in the fall are four newly reissued Freddy adventures: Freddy's Cousin's Wedding, Freddy the Magician, Freddy Rides Again and Freddy and the Men from Mars. Virginia Lee Burton won the Caldecott Medal for The Little House when it was first published in 1942, and Houghton Mifflin celebrates the book's 60 years in print with an anniversary edition. Also due are Mike Mulligan and More: A Virginia Lee Burton Treasury and Virginia Lee Burton: A Life in Art by Barbara Elleman, a biography. Sixty years have also passed since the publication of The Little Red Lighthouse and the Great Gray Bridge by Hildegarde H. Swift, illustrated by Lynd Ward. Due out from Harcourt are a facsimile edition featuring Ward's original watercolors and a gift set that packages the book with a lighthouse-shaped nightlight. Also celebrating 60th anniversaries are Maureen Daly's Seventeenth Summer , which S&S is reissuing in a hardcover edition with a new jacket; and the inaugural tale in The Boxcar Children series by Gertrude Chandler Warner, which Albert Whitman is bringing back in The Boxcar Children 60th Anniversary Edition, with art by L. Kate Deal and biographical information about the author. The Berenstain Bears have been keeping kids chuckling—and teaching them lessons—for 40 years. On the anniversary of their first foray into Bear Country, creators Stan and Jan Berenstain will publish Down a Sunny Dirt Road: An Autobiography. Random House will release this hardcover in September, which is also the pub month of reissues of five Berenstain Bears titles. Norman Bridwell's ageless Clifford—whose books have sold close to 100 million copies—also has a 40th birthday this year. Due out is an anniversary edition of the original picture book, Clifford the Big Red Dog , featuring flocking and foil on its jacket. For every copy of this book sold through December, Scholastic will donate $1 to Reading is Fundamental. Yet another 40th anniversary—that of the publication of Ed Emberley's The Wing on a Flea —will be marked by Little, Brown in the fall with the release of a new edition of this picture book. Thirty-five years ago, E.L. Konigsburg won a Newbery Medal for From the Mixed-up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler , and this fall Atheneum will bring out a new hardcover anniversary edition with a new afterword by the author. Also due is a Simon Pulse mass-market paperback and an Aladdin digest edition. Another staple of the Atheneum backlist, Judith Viorst's Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day, with pictures by Ray Cruz, is marking its 30th anniversary this year. The publisher has sold more than two million copies of the book. A pair of titles turns 25 this year. Steven Kellogg's The Mysterious Tadpole , in which Louis's Scottish uncle gives him a tadpole plucked out of Loch Ness, will be published in a reworked version featuring all new art. And Peachtree plans a 25th-anniversary edition of If I Found a Wistful Unicorn: A Gift of Love by Ann Ashford, illustrated by Bill Drath. Since it first made a splash 10 years ago, Marcus Pfister's The Rainbow Fish has been published in 28 countries and 37 languages, giving North-South Books ample reason to celebrate. Due in September is The Rainbow Fish Anniversary Edition, sporting holographic foil type on the cover.
