About this deal

In 1992, Potter's children's book The Tale of Benjamin Bunny was featured in the film Lorenzo's Oil. [106] In one of her diary entries whilst travelling through Wales, Potter complained about the Welsh language. She wrote " Machynlleth, wretched town, hardly a person could speak English", continuing "Welsh seem a pleasant intelligent race, but I should think awkward to live with... the language is past description."

Beatrix Potter Fabric In 1929 Beatrix published a children's book called The Fairy Caravan, which is about a guinea pig who runs away to join the circus. She published it in the US only as she felt the story was too personal, and that her English audience might not like it. It was eventually published in the UK after her death. 18. Her later books used her earlier illustrations Lear 2007, p.131. She began eight Uncle Remus drawings in the same year 1893 she began writing the Peter Rabbit picture letters to Noel Moore, completing the last in 1896. In 1909, Potter returned with a degree of reluctance – due to wanting to develop other animal characters – to the rabbits that made her name and remained a favourite with her readers. She did so through the character of Benjamin Bunny, in The Tale of The Flopsy Bunnies. In this story, Benjamin has grown up and married Peter's sister Flopsy. Very 'improvident and cheerful', Flopsy and Benjamin have a large family of children called the Flopsy Bunnies. The story opens by introducing the family and the fact that eating lettuces has a sleep-inducing effect on rabbits – illustrated here with the bunnies asleep in a lettuce patch.Before hitting it big with her childrens' stories, Beatrix was known in the field of mycology (the study of fungi). She was interested in lots of natural science fields including entomology (the study of of insects) and fossils. By the 1890s she focused mostly on mushrooms and fungi, and she made amazing watercolour studies of the specimens she collected! 3. As a woman she wasn't always respected, though By the age of 14, she had started a journal, written in code, to record her thoughts, ideas and sketches and kept it up until the age of 30. Her early sketches included detailed images of her pets and other animals. Her father, a talented amateur photographer, had friendships within the London art world including the Pre-Raphaelite painter John Everett Millais (1829–1896), whose family would holiday with the Potters in Perthshire, Scotland. Millais recognised Potter's talent, telling her: 'Plenty of people can draw, but you have observation.' With the encouragement of her father, Potter went on to study at the National Art Training School in London (now the Royal College of Art). a b Walker, Tim (22 July 2014). "Mandrake-The Duchess of Cambridge is related to Potter, who once gave the Middleton family her own original hand-painted illustrations". The Daily Telegraph. London. p.8.

Potter's paternal grandfather, Edmund Potter, from Glossop in Derbyshire, owned what was then the largest calico printing works in England, and later served as a Member of Parliament.

Potter's artistic and literary interests were deeply influenced by fairy tales and fantasy. She was a student of the classic fairy tales of Western Europe. As well as stories from the Old Testament, John Bunyan's The Pilgrim's Progress and Harriet Beecher Stowe's Uncle Tom's Cabin, she grew up with Aesop's Fables, the fairy tales of the Brothers Grimm and Hans Christian Andersen, Charles Kingsley's The Water Babies, [44] the folk tales and mythology of Scotland, the German Romantics, Shakespeare, [45] and the romances of Sir Walter Scott. [46] As a young child, before the age of eight, Edward Lear's A Book of Nonsense, including the much loved The Owl and the Pussycat, and Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland had made their impression, although she later said of Alice that she was more interested in Tenniel's illustrations than what they were about.

She was dedicated to preserving not just areas of outstanding natural beauty, but ordinary stretches of countryside that would be ruined by development. She was close friends with one of the developers of the National Trust, and when she died she left her estate to the National Trust. She really helped to keep the Lake District beautiful for us! 9.
