- Abstract
The Tale of Peter Rabbit is a popular children’s picture book written by Beatrix Potter, which is an appropriate text for investigating about game spirit. This paper studies the manifestation of the game spirit in the text of The Tale of Peter Rabbit through stylistics of fiction as a research perspective and finds that the text of The Tale of Peter Rabbit shows the game spirit characterized by children’s humour, children’s imaginations and the freedom of children’s spiritual subjects with the image of a naughty boy Peter, unpredictable and interesting plots and children’s unintended humour as carriers. These provide nutrients for the maintenance of children readers’ spiritual health and contribute to further literature research.
