A Mysterious Clue for Sherlock Sandy

Now... if you remember on Friday, I received a Victoria Cross 50p coin from Beanie Moriarty after solving a clue in the Case of the Missing Bullion... The coin came with another clue on the back of that strange card (Centaur abducting a woman)...

Here's the new clue...

"A story about the life of a leporidae

Who wears a jacket and a floppy beret

Written by an author early last century

Whose last name connects to wizarding pedigree.

Name the leporidae"

Hmmm... let's my on the old thinking cap. A leporidae is a rabbit (or bunny or hare)... so we're looking for a bunny... Hmmm... Wizarding pedigree... could be Harry Potter!! Which lead us to a story about a bunny by an author named Potter... It must be Beatrix Potter!!!  Let's see... the most famous rabbit I know is... Peter Rabbit!! But does he wear a beret?

Hmmm... according to Pinterest, Peter Rabbit wears a jacket and a green beret... hmmm... Is it Peter Rabbit??

Well... there IS a Peter Rabbit coin but... I don't see a beret anywhere...

Hmm... more research required... Let's find a book about Peter Rabbit...

Just a blue jacket... hmmm... could it be that Pinterest is wrong??? Nooooooo.... NOT Pinterest???!!!

Hmph.

Anyhow... let's do some more sleuthing and... look what we found... It's a bunny with a beret!!! And...

Benjamin Bunny as a coin too!!!

Maybe even a colour coin??

There's our answer... the mystery of the leporidae is solved!! It's Benjamin Bunny!!! Whew... that was a tricky one!!! Thanks for the clue and the prize Beanie Moriarty! Now... where to stash my growing collection of cool 50p coins....
