Starting with the publication of The Tale of Peter Rabbit in 1902, Beatrix Potter went on to become one of the world''s most successful children''s authors. This illustrated biographical eBook takes the reader through the whole of her life, from her Victorian childhood in London to her final years farming in the Lake District. Regarded as a standard work on Beatrix Potter''s life, this work has been updated regularly to include fresh material and previously unpublished photographs that have come to light as interest in Beatrix Potter continues to grow.

Beatrix Potter was a very private person, yet, luckily for us, she was a prolific letter writer. Through her own words to friends, working colleagues and children we can discover the observant, energetic, affectionate and humorous personality she kept hidden from her public. Her life covers a period of immense social change. The restricted existence of a dutiful Victorian daughter, the background against which she first wrote the story of Peter Rabbit, was very different from that of war-time England where she continued to pioneer countryside conservation until her death.

''My dear Noel, I don''t know what to write to you so I shall tell you a story about four little rabbits whose names were - Flopsy, Mopsy, Cottontail and Peter.'' So begins Beatrix Potter''s most celebrated letter, in which she tells for the first time the story that was destined to make her name famous all over the world, The Tale of Peter Rabbit. It was written to cheer up a sick little boy when he was ill, and is one of numerous surviving letters written by Beatrix Potter to entertain individual children. Sometimes her letters take the form of a supposed correspondence between different animal characters from the stories, each written in miniature with its own tiny envelope.

A definitive book on the art of Beatrix Potter with over 450 images depicting her life and her work.

The Tale of Peter Rabbitis one of the best-selling, and best-loved, children''s books of all time, and the story of how it came to be published-and what''s happened to the book in the 100 years since publication-is fascinating. Judy Taylor, a leading authority on Potter, tells the story that begins with a small girl''s devotion to her pet rabbit and ends with Beatrix Potter''s bequest of extensive areas of England''s Lake District. In between we see how the book began as a letter to the son of Potter''s governess, look at its initial publication (paid for by Potter) in black-and-white, and follow Peter Rabbit''s rise to the most famous rabbit in the world.

A mom who never nurtured her. A Heavenly Father guiding her steps. Could she shed her feelings of worthlessness and discover joy? Judy Taylor grew up paralyzed by fear. With an absent father and a mentally unwell mother dominating her childhood, she tried valiantly not to cry over the constant verbal and physical abuse. And after years of being told she was fat, ugly, and unlovable, the young woman clung to her belief in Jesus as she left everything familiar for the terrifying freedom of college. Leaning on her trust in the Lord, Judy blossomed into a vibrant student who befriended everyone on campus. But even as her outward confidence strengthened, she struggled to escape the inner torture and scars from her dysfunctional adolescence. Was there still time to forgive and find her path to healing? Be Still is an inspiring and heart-wrenching memoir. If you like raw honesty, uplifting messages, and seeing people overcome trauma, then you''ll love Judy Taylor''s journey of faith.
