Beatrix Potter: Her Inner World

Beatrix Potter: Her Inner World

An insightful biography of the pioneering conservationist, illustrator, prolific author, and creator of Peter Rabbit and other legendary tales.
Â
Beatrix Potter was born curious, with an imagination and a love of natural science and animals that would serve her well. When her self-published and self-illustrated first book, The Tale of Peter Rabbit, was picked up by an enterprising publisher, Beatrixâ€™s modest â€œbunny bookâ€ would become a phenomenon. After more than a century, Beatrix Potter endures as one of the most cherished childrenâ€™s book authors in literary history. But what were the sources of inspiration that gave birth to her beloved anthropomorphic characters and enduring cautionary tales?
Â
Through extensive research, personal letters, and photographs, this concise and intimate biography reveals Beatrixâ€™s privileged yet restrictive Victorian childhood; her volatile relationship with her mother; a tragic love affair with her editor; her sometimes debilitating depression and illnesses; her life and career beyond Peter Rabbit; and her liberation as a passionate, driven, trailblazing, and simply original creative spirit.
