From "Acknowledgements" by H. Nichols B. Clark:
"The Eric Carle Museum of Picture Book Art had barely opened its doors when the Beatrix Potter Society invited us to host their Twenty-fifth Anniversary meeting. We were delighted and not a little honored by this overture. In conjunction with the conference, we proposed organizing a small exhibition of works by Potter, and the Society enthusiastically embraced this idea."

This is a fully-illustrated collection of about 200 paintings by Beatrix Potter, which will accompany a major exhibition of Beatrix Potter's work at the Dulwich Picture Gallery in autumn 2005. The selection, introduction and notes are by Anne Hobbs, former curator of the Beatrix Potter collection at the V&A. The book will act as the official catalogue for the Dulwich Exhibition, but will also stand alone as an exciting and innovative presentation of the works of an enduringly popular English illustrator.

This little book tells the story of Beatrix Potter, the writer and artist who created the tales of Peter Rabbit. It describes her life from her lonely childhood in a big London house, where her animals were her best friends, to her old age as a successful country farmer. And it reveals how her rabbit, Peter, came to be the most famous rabbit in the world.

When Beatrix Potter died in 1943 few knew the full story of her life. Despite her fame - two generations of children had been brought up on the Peter Rabbit stories - she shunned publicity and preferred to live in quiet anonymity as a lakeland farmer. Margaret Lane's remarkable piece of literary detective work, originally published only three years after Beatrix Potter's death, told her story for the first time. It described her solitary Victorian childhood, her struggles for independence, her ill-fated love affair and happy marriage, the accidental influences that shaped her artistry. Extensively revised in 1985 to include new material that had come to light, it remains essential reading for anyone interested in the background to the author of the famous Peter Rabbit Tales.

There was once a little girl who loved to draw and paint. Her name was Beatrix Potter. Although she lived in Victorian London, her heart was in the countryside, and her many pets were real friends. One of them, a rabbit named Peter, became as famous as his owner. Beatrix wrote about him in The Tale of Peter Rabbit. This book tells the fascinating story of how Beatrix became an author and made her life at last in the countryside she loved.

Dear Miss Mahony, It has been a great pleasure to receive such kind letters from you and others in America, and I will be very glad to provide some detail on how I came to write "The Tale of Peter Rabbit" and my other books. It all seems a very long time ago now and in a different world. And so I should like to lend you this journal which I started at the age of 16 and kept from time to time while I was a young woman. I have added some notes to explain the events and I think this tells the story of my past better than I could do now. I will be pleased if t his journal gives pleasure to such sympathetic friends. With kind regards and thanks, Beatrix Potter

By Linda Lear

In this remarkable biography, Linda Lear offers a new look at the extraordinary woman who gave us some of the most beloved children's books of all time. Beatrix Potter found freedom from her conventional Victorian upbringing in the countryside. Nature inspired her imagination as an artist and scientific illustrator, but The Tale of Peter Rabbit brought her fame, financial success, and the promise of happiness when she fell in love with her editor, Norman Warne. After his tragic and untimely death, Potter embraced a new life as the owner of Hill Top Farm in the English Lake District and a second chance at happiness. As a visionary landowner, successful farmer, and sheep breeder, she was able to preserve the landscape that had inspired her art. Beatrix Potter: A Life in Nature reveals a lively, independent, and passionate woman, whose art was timeless, and whose generosity left an indelible imprint on the countryside.
