| Synopsis: |
Beatrix Potter, born into a wealthy London family, became a passionate country woman and skilled farmer in the northern countryside, where her characters were brought vividly to life by the genius of her words and pictures. In this stunning guide, which includes many of Beatrix's own charming illustrations - loved by children and adults alike - we introduce readers to the world of this remarkable author, including: her childhood and early influences; how and where she developed her drawing skills; the inspirations for her famous characters; how her first publication came about; her relationship with family and friends; love and loss; her passion for the Lake District; her life as a farmer; her happy marriage; and, her support of the National Trust, to whom she bequeathed many of her properties. It also includes details of places to visit. |
