Book Reviews of Beatrix Potter: Artist, Storyteller, and Countrywoman
Book Review: Excellent biography, Wonderful photographs and illustrations
Summary: 5 Stars
This is my favorite biography of Beatrix Potter, thoroughly researched and historically accurate, with many wonderful family, home and countrylife photographs (including ones of Beatrix Potter's pet rabbit, dog, and a variety of her other animal pets). The book also contains her many beautiful illustrations, watercolors and copies of some notes and letters as well as portions of her manuscripts. Judy Taylor, an author enchanted with Beatrix Potter stories and art from early childhood, also wrote Beatrix Potter: The Artist and Her World, and two National Trust Guides: Beatrix Potter and Hilltop, and Beatrix Potter and Hawkshead. She's the editor of both Beatrix Potter's Letters: A Selection and Letters To Children from Beatrix Potter.
Summary of Beatrix Potter: Artist, Storyteller, and Countrywoman
Starting with the publication of "The Tale Of Peter Rabbit" in 1902, Beatrix Potter went on to become one of the world's most successful children's authors. This illustrated biography takes the reader through the whole of her life, from her Victorian childhood in London to her final years farming in the Lake District. Regarded as a standard work on Beatrix Potter's life, the book has been updated regularly to include fresh material and previously unpublished photographs that have come to light as interest in Beatrix Potter continues to grow.Authors Books
