Praise for Beatrix Potter

"Overlooked no more . . . [Beatrix Potter] created one of the world’s best-known characters for children. . . . In her lifetime, Potter went on to write 22 more books, whimsical but razor-sharp stories about soon-to-become enduring characters like Jemima Puddle-Duck and Benjamin Bunny. Her characters, dressed in waistcoats and bonnets, were rendered with meticulous attention to anatomical detail, an outgrowth of Potter’s long interest in natural science." —The New York Times

"A keen observer of the natural world." —Smithsonian Magazine
