Even though I didn't love all the stories and rhymes, seeing all the lovely paintings and drawings by Potter was a delight. Though some of the stories kept me so pulled in I didn't want to look at the drawing in detail until later because I just wanted to find out the ending of that story. Beatrix Potter is one of the world's best-loved children's authors of all time. From her first book, The Tale of Peter Rabbit (1902) she went on to create a series of stories based around animal characters including Mrs Tiggy-winkle, Mr Jeremy Fisher and Tom Kitten. Her humorous, lively tales and beautiful illustrations have become a natural part of childhood. Helen Beatrix Potter was an English author, illustrator, mycologist, and conservationist who is best known for her children's books, which featured animal characters such as Peter Rabbit.

Stories themselves were interesting but some of the narrators were poor and not clear. Made it too boring to listen. This edition includes a section at the end that contains four additional works by Beatrix Potter that were not published in her lifetime. One of the things I liked about this collection of Beatrix Potter stories, rhymes, and paintings is that before each there is text explaining a bit about the story such as when it was written, what was going on in her life at the time it was written, etc. I don't know if I ever owned any of the books as a kid, but I'd see them every year at B&E around Easter and this year, I thought 'I'm gonna freakin do it' and bought the collection. And what can I say? I fell in love. Of her talent. Whether for writing, but also for her drawings. I really regret not having known younger. And at the same time, I tell myself that maybe I wouldn't have appreciated the work that much.As with most children’s books that have withstood the test of time, the books appeal to not only children, but adults. As Books Children Love explains: Whether you're looking to relive those treasured moments of your childhood, or hoping to share some of your old favourites with your own little ones, there's no storybook world more pleasant than that of Beatrix Potter. f���z������Mr�

In her thirties, Potter published the highly successful children's book The Tale of Peter Rabbit and became secretly engaged to her publisher, Norman Warne, causing a breach with her parents, who disapproved of his social status. Warne died before the wedding. Growing up, my grandmother had VHS of some of these stories and I thought they were the only stories she wrote.

Et que dire ? Je suis tombée amoureuse. De son talent. Que ça soit pour l'écriture, mais également ses dessins. Je regrette vraiment de ne pas avoir connu plus jeune. Et en même temps, je me dis que peut-être, je n'aurai pas autant apprécié l'oeuvre.
