Beatrix Potter : Artist, Storyteller and Countrywoman – Judy Taylor

Description

Starting with the publication of “The Tale Of Peter Rabbit” in 1902, Beatrix Potter went on to become one of the world’s most successful children’s authors. This illustrated biography takes the reader through the whole of her life, from her Victorian childhood in London to her final years farming in the Lake District. Regarded as a standard work on Beatrix Potter’s life, the book has been updated regularly to include fresh material and previously unpublished photographs that have come to light as interest in Beatrix Potter continues to grow. The new edition, published in 1996, contains fresh material and many previously unpublished photographs that have come to light as interest in Beatrix Potter continues to grow. The final chapter of the book, which describes how the fame of Peter Rabbit has spread since his creator’s death, has been almost entirely rewritten to cover the wealth of new enterprises inspired by this remarkable woman.
