About this Item
Description:
An interactive book, written as if it were Beatrice's journal with inserts and pop-ups of such things as a Christmas Card, a photograph and even her letter to Noel Moore, which was the original draft of Peter Rabbit. Heavily illustrated with cardboard pages and padded cover. HAAN. Seller Inventory # 00084
Synopsis:
This lavish, illustrated journal describes Beatrix Potter's life as a young woman in Victorian Britain as she struggles to achieve independence and to find artistic success and romantic love. Using witty, observant commentary taken from Beatrix’s own diaries, the journal moves London to Scotland to the Lake District, and features a wealth of watercolour paintings, sketches, photographs, letters, paper-engineered items and period memorabilia to recreate a world where nature and imagination are brilliantly combined.
About the Author: Beatrix Potter (1866-1943). Her passion for the natural world lay behind the creation of her famous little books. A particular source of inspiration was the Lake District where she lived for the last thirty years of her life as a farmer and conservationist.
