Beatrix Potter by Elizabeth Buchan
A children's introduction to the life of Beatrix Potter, telling of her lonely childhood which encouraged her love of painting, and of her later years as a sheepfarmer and conservationist. One chapter tells how she wrote the picture letter which became the basis for "The Tale of Peter Rabbit".
