About the book: (from the dust jacket) Beatrix Potter, creator of one of the most loved children's stories of all time, was herself an unhappy child. Botn in Victorian England to strict parents, Potter lived for her family's summer vacations to Scotland, where she carefully observed and drew animals and nature. At home in London she was shy and lonely, her only companions her many pets. But she continued to draw and paint, always striving to make her subjects look real. It was while writing letters to a friend's ill son that Potter first began telling and illustrating the exploits of her pet rabbit, Peter. The worldwide popularity of The Tale of Peter Rabbit testifies to how sincerely Potter identified with children as her equals. By holding so much of her private, creative child- hood into her adulthood, Potter forever raised the standards of both the writing and illustration of children's literature. Her talent and energy came from her heart. About the author: (from the dust jacket) Peter Durwood is the author of the children's book Sahara, also published by The Kipling Press. He has spent a year teaching children in nursery school. Mr. Durwood was educated at Phillips Exeter Academy and at Wesleyan University, where he received a B.A. in liberal arts. He currently lives in New York. About the illustrator: (from the dust jacket) Laura Lee Cundiff started drawing when she was two, and eventually began to earn a living from it. She was born in Kentucky, and recently, after seven years in New York City, has returned to live in a stone cabin on a horse farm. She has illustrated for several magazines, including the Daily News Sunday Magazine and the Village Voice; and also, in a pinch, has designed Mickey Mouse pajamas. Seller Inventory # 15063
