Beatrix Potter (1866 – 1943) was an English author, illustrator, and conservationist best known for her children’s books featuring Peter Rabbit and other animal characters. The first draft of “The Story of Peter Rabbit” was based on a letter she wrote to a little boy sick in bed, the son of a favorite governess who had cared for Potter in her childhood.<\/p>\n

Literary Traveler: Beatrix Potter – More Than Just Bunnies
\n
\n“A product of Victorian times, she [Beatrix Potter] far surpassed societal expectations of women of her era and class. She was an accomplished botanical illustrator, a sheep breeder and farmer, a wife, and a conservationist greatly devoted to her home, the Lake District of England.” Visit Literary Traveler for a terrific Beatrix Potter bio. Other authors in their Children’s Literature section include E.B. White, Faith Ringgold, and Lewis Carroll.<\/p>\n

\n
\nWow! Not only was she an illustrator, author, and conservationist, Potter also understood merchandising. “In 1903 Potter, recognizing the merchandising opportunities offered by her success, made her own Peter Rabbit doll, which she registered at the Patent Office. A Peter Rabbit board game and wallpaper were also produced in her lifetime.”<\/p>\n
