Beatrix Potter's Scotland by Lynne Mcgeachie

An insight into the early life and inspirations of one of Britain's best-loved writers, this book looks to Potter's own journal to reveal the influence of the Perthshire countryside and Sir Walter Scott on her writing.

Concise, elegant and intriguing, this sliver of literary history shows, perhaps for the first time, the full extent of the place Scotland played in shaping the imagination of Beatrix Potter THE HERALD

Lynne McGeachie's interest in Beatrix Potter began many years ago. The discovery of Potter's Perthshire connections and the fact that The Tale of Peter Rabbit had its beginnings there inspired Lynne to write The Tale o Peter Kinnen, the first translation into Scots of that classic of children's literature. Lynne has a passion for the nature and wildlife of her native Scotland and completed the Munros with her husband in 1991.
