    Beatrix Potter

    Helen Beatrix Potter (1866-1943) was an English writer, illustrator, scientist, and conservationist best known for her children's books featuring animals. Written as a gift for the son of her former governess, The Tale of Peter Rabbit was published in 1901. Its success enabled her to commit to full-time writing and illustrating. Potter wrote about 30 books; the best known being her 24 children's tales.

      small and amazing
    • 4/5
      Tommy Brock (a badger) has stolen Benjamin Bunny's babies and intends to eat them! Shocking premise for a children's tale, not to mention elder abuse. Nature is not always pretty, and Ms. Potter was tired of writing only the pretty stuff. As always, her mingling of human traits and animal characteristics is masterfully done so that you learn much of animal behaviour without feeling that you are being taught.
    • 3/5
      Children's fiction. Just for fun, and because I said I'd list all the books I read. This book had been read to me (probably many times) before this year (2001).
    • 5/5
      this one reads like a cannibal killer horror tale!
