Summary of The Tale of Mrs William Heelis: Beatrix Potter
One area of Beatrix Potter's life which has been neglected is her relationship with Willie Heelis, to whom she was happily married for 30 years. This work draws on anecdotes from family and friends, where the author, their great-nephew, casts a welcome look at this relationship. He also tackles controversial issues, such as whether Beatrix really ever did like children. Included are first-hand reminiscences of family and Lake District friends of the couple, including extracts from previously unpublished letters. These, along with Beatrix letters to Miss Louie Choyce in the 1920s and 1930s, paint a vivid picture of their life together in Sawrey.
