The creator of Peter Rabbit, who wrote and painted her own little books.
Beatrix Potter wrote and illustrated The Tale of Peter Rabbit and 22 more little books about animals in waistcoats and bonnets, then spent her later life as a sheep farmer saving the English Lake District.
Potter was born in London in 1866 and taught at home, where she filled sketchbooks with the rabbits, mice and hedgehogs she kept as pets. She was also a serious naturalist who studied fungi.
Peter Rabbit began in 1893 as a picture letter to a sick child. She printed it herself in 1901, and Frederick Warne published it in 1902. Twenty-three tales followed, each small enough for a child's hands. With her earnings she bought Hill Top Farm in the Lake District, became a prize-winning breeder of Herdwick sheep, and left more than 4,000 acres to the National Trust when she died in 1943.
Now, my dears, you may go into the fields or down the lane, but don't go into Mr. McGregor's garden.
