Description

Born into wealth in 1860’s London, Beatrix Potter all the time had a vivid imagination. Her early interests included natural history and archaeology, and Potter delighted in sketching fossils and fungi. After briefly illustrating Christmas cards together with her brother, Bertram, Potter wrote and illustrated her well-known book, The Tale of Peter Rabbit. The book was once rejected by a few publishes until Frederick Warne sooner or later took a risk and published the story in 1902 – a risk that paid off. Peter Rabbit was an enormous success and readers loved hearing about Peter’s mischevious adventures within the lush English countryside. As she were given older, Beatrix Potter became a proud conservationist, working hard to defend the landscape she loved so well against industrialization and logging. Now over one hundred years old, Peter Rabbit and his animal friends have transform cultural touchstones and continue to delight readers of every age.
