A delightful book that gives an insight into the character and creative processes of Beatrix Potter as well as showing us her later life as a farmer and staunch supporter of the National Trust. I had not realised how much of her work was drawn from life - both animal, human and landscape. Also an insight into a forgotten and stifling world of the late Victorian middle classes and into how hard it could be for a daughter to create a life for themselves. A short but lovely book for anyone who loves Beatrix Potter's work. ( )

Such an intriguing life she had! I don't often read biographies because they are usually too filled with dull details for my taste, not the case here at all. I don't usually like the subject of bios as much as beforehand, the opposite with the story of Beatrix. ( )

Good book covering the life of the famous children's author and illustrator, written three years after her death. Interesting photos, offers a mature appreciation of Potter's art. ( )
