“I hold that a strongly
marked personality can influence descendants for generations.”
~ Beatrix Potter
British
author Beatrix Potter, born July 28, 1866, wrote and illustrated more than 20
children's books. She spent a solitary
childhood, loved to sketch animals and later invented stories about them. In
1902, Potter published The Tale of Peter Rabbit, which launched her
career as a children's author. More than 20 other books for young audiences
soon followed. Potter's tales of Peter Rabbit, Jemima Puddle-Duck, Benjamin
Bunny and others have become children's classics. Ms. Potter died in 1943.
