95. Beatrix Potter:


1866-1943 : the artist and her world
Rated: 4 1/2 Stars

A companion to the Tate Gallery Exhibition, this is a definitive work on the art of Beatrix Potter. Her life, work, the influences of contemporary artists, and later work as a conservationist are demonstrated with over 450 reproductions of her work.

An excellent biography. I had no idea that BP was also an avid naturalist, conservationist and farmer as well as a writer and illustrator of children's books. I ordered the movie from the library and while it was good naturally the book was much better.
