Born into a wealthy Unitarian family, Potter, along with her younger brother, Walter Bertram (1872-1918), grew up with few friends outside her large, extended family. Her parents were artistic, interested in nature and enjoyed the countryside. As children, Beatrix and Bertram had numerous small animals as pets which they observed closely and drew endlessly. Summer holidays were spent away from London, in Scotland and in the English Lake District where Beatrix developed a love of the natural world which was the subject of her painting from an early age. She was educated by private governesses until she was eighteen. Her study of languages, literature, science and history was broad and she was an eager student. Her artistic talents were recognized early. She enjoyed private art lessons, and developed her own style, favouring watercolour. Along with her drawings of her animals, real and imagined, she illustrated insects, fossils, archaeological artefacts, and fungi. In the 1890s her mycological illustrations and research on the reproduction of fungi spores generated interest from the scientific establishment. Following some success illustrating cards and booklets, Potter wrote and illustrated The Tale of Peter Rabbit publishing it first privately in 1901, and a year later as a small, three-colour illustrated book with Frederick Warne & Co. She became unofficially engaged to her editor Norman Warne in 1905 despite the disapproval of her parents, but he died suddenly a month later, of leukemia., FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Author Biography Potter was the author of the 23 Peter Rabbit Tales as well as many works of natural and scientific importance Details ISBN1494761637 Author Beatrix Potter Short Title GRT BIG TREAS OF BEATRIX POTTE Pages 100 Audience Age 4-12 Language English ISBN-10 1494761637 ISBN-13 9781494761639 Media Book Format Paperback DEWEY E Residence US Birth 1866 Death 1943 Year 2014 Publication Date 2014-10-19 Imprint Createspace Independent Publishing Platform Publisher Createspace Independent Publishing Platform Alternative 9780554230542 Audience Children / Juvenile We've got this At The Nile, if you're looking for it, we've got it.
