This beautiful book explores the beloved writer's achievements as a
storyteller, artist, and naturalist. Beatrix Potter's universe of
characters-Peter Rabbit, Squirrel Nutkin, Jemima Puddleduck-have
delighted audiences for over a century. A creative pioneer and
determined entrepreneur, she combined scientific observation with
imaginative storytelling to create some of the world's best-loved
children's books. This volume showcases Potter's charming
charac-ters against the backdrop of her exquisite botanical
drawings, humorous illustrated letters to friends, Lake District
landscapes, and rarely seen photographs. Beatrix Potter's
endearingly hand-painted world of animals and gardens made her one
of the most celebrated children's book authors of all time, yet
this is but one facet of her creative life. Drawn to the
picturesque English countryside after a London childhood, Potter
had a passion for nature that influenced her many achievements as a
naturalist, artist, storyteller, and later in life as a fervent
conservationist and "gentlewoman" farmer. This book sheds light
upon the connections between her art, entrepreneurial success, and
legacy in preservation.
