The Story of Beatrix Potter
Few people are aware of the contradictory nature of Beatrix Potter's own story. She was a sheltered Victorian daughter who grew into an astute businesswoman; a talented artist who became a scientific expert; a famous author who gave it up to become a farmer, then a pioneering conservationist. Bestselling biographer Sarah Gristwood follows the twists and turns of Beatrix Potter’s life and its key turning points - including her tragically brief first engagement and happy second marriage late in life - and traces the creation of the animal characters who became famous world-wide.
