Beatrix Potter
Beatrix Potter (1866–1943) was an English children’s book writer, best known for her Peter Rabbit series. Born to a wealthy family in England, Beatrix did not go to school and instead stayed at home, spending much of her time drawing and creating stories based on animals. In her twenties, Beatrix attempted to get her children’s book and illustrations published. Finally, in 1902, The Tale of Peter Rabbit was published, selling over 28,000 copies the first year. This series brought her fame and wealth. Potter went on to write twenty-three books. These works have had a profound impact on illustrated children’s books to this day.
