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 favourite governess that had cared for Potter in
her childhood.

Literary Traveler: Beatrix Potter - More Than Just Bunnies

"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.

This official Peter Rabbit site from Penguin Books is my Beatrix Potter
pick of the day. The Beatrix Potter section covers her life and her
art, including the display of several pages from her childhood
sketch books. For oodles of activities that will charm young Peter
Rabbit fans, click on over to Fun. My favourite clicks include six
online games.. But the five illustrated, audio stories found in
Storytime top them all.
