Using this as inspiration, she began writing and illustrating children’s stories, self-publishing The Tale of Peter Rabbit in 1901, which became an immediate success. By her death in 1943, Beatrix Potter had written 30 books, the most popular of which were the children’s stories.

Scott x Potter = Charming beyond description
Listened to these recently as a bedtime listen with my wife and dog. Andrew does an amazing job of taking you through Potter's world of nature and brings the characters to life in an extraordinary way. More please?
