Product Description
The creator of Peter Rabbit, Samuel Whiskers, and Jemima Puddleduck, Beatrix Potter (1866-1942) is one of the best-loved children's book authors of all time. Yet few in America are aware of the role she played in protecting some of England's most beautiful landscapes and in designing romantic interiors and a lovely garden at Hill Top, her beloved Lake District farmhouse.
Taking the reader through her picturesque house and the breathtaking scenery around it that inspired many of her famous stories, this enchanting book is the first to look at the intimate connection between the English countryside and Potter's work. Her own exquisite illustrations appear alongside specially commissioned full-color photographs of their real-life counterparts, revealing a home filled with treasured old furniture and beautiful objects and celebrating an artist-storyteller whose legacy as a conservationist at last receives the attention it merits.
150 illustrations in full color, 10 x 10"
