Beatrix Potter was born in 1866 and was influenced by her artistic parents who had a great interest in nature, often taking the family on long holidays in Scotland and the Lake District. She developed an early interest in art through her private art lessons, in which she favoured water colour and acquired a skill for detail and observation. During her childhood, Beatrix kept various pets including rabbits, mice, hedgehogs and butterflies which she adored, studied and drew.

Her first book, The Tale of Peter Rabbit was published in 1902 and was an expansion of an illustrated letter she had sent to a friend. An immediate success, numerous charming tales followed introducing new characters and adventures. Heavily influenced by fairy tales and fantasy, her tales capture the spirit of the British landscape and countryside as a backdrop for her characters and their magical stories.
