From "Acknowledgements" by H. Nichols B. Clark:
"The Eric Carle Museum of Picture Book Art had barely opened its doors when the Beatrix Potter Society invited us to host their Twenty-fifth Anniversary meeting. We were delighted and not a little honored by this overture. In conjunction with the conference, we proposed organizing a small exhibition of works by Potter, and the Society enthusiastically embraced this idea."

The Tale of Beatrix Potter

The Tale of Beatrix Potter

By Margaret Lane
Illustrated by Beatrix Potter

When Beatrix Potter died in 1943 few knew the full story of her life. Despite her fame - two generations of children had been brought up on the Peter Rabbit stories - she shunned publicity and preferred to live in quiet anonymity as a lakeland farmer. Margaret Lane's remarkable piece of literary detective work, originally published only three years after Beatrix Potter's death, told her story for the first time. It described her solitary Victorian childhood, her struggles for independence, her ill-fated love affair and happy marriage, the accidental influences that shaped her artistry. Extensively revised in 1985 to include new material that had come to light, it remains essential reading for anyone interested in the background to the author of the famous Peter Rabbit Tales.

Beatrix Potter: A Journal

By Beatrix Potter
Illustrated by Beatrix Potter

Dear Miss Mahony, It has been a great pleasure to receive such kind letters from you and others in America, and I will be very glad to provide some detail on how I came to write "The Tale of Peter Rabbit" and my other books. It all seems a very long time ago now and in a different world. And so I should like to lend you this journal which I started at the age of 16 and kept from time to time while I was a young woman. I have added some notes to explain the events and I think this tells the story of my past better than I could do now. I will be pleased if t his journal gives pleasure to such sympathetic friends. With kind regards and thanks, Beatrix Potter

Beatrix Potter: A Life in Nature

By Linda Lear

In this remarkable biography, Linda Lear offers a new look at the extraordinary woman who gave us some of the most beloved children's books of all time. Beatrix Potter found freedom from her conventional Victorian upbringing in the countryside. Nature inspired her imagination as an artist and scientific illustrator, but The Tale of Peter Rabbit brought her fame, financial success, and the promise of happiness when she fell in love with her editor, Norman Warne. After his tragic and untimely death, Potter embraced a new life as the owner of Hill Top Farm in the English Lake District and a second chance at happiness. As a visionary landowner, successful farmer, and sheep breeder, she was able to preserve the landscape that had inspired her art. Beatrix Potter: A Life in Nature reveals a lively, independent, and passionate woman, whose art was timeless, and whose generosity left an indelible imprint on the countryside.
