Potter Biography
Beatrix Potter (1866-1943)
Beatrix Potter is best known as the creator and illustrator of the
children's book, "The Tale of Peter Rabbit." Born in London in 1866,
Potter had a lonely childhood, much of which was spent in the English
countryside, away from friends and neighbors. Her pet rabbit Peter
helped relieve her boredom and eventually became the inspiration for
the main character of her book. Potter began her writing career after
completing her studies in art and natural history. "The Tale of Peter
Rabbit," published in 1900, was the first in a series of books. For
the remainder of her life, Potter continued to create wonderful fantasies
about rabbits, squirrels, mice, frog and other creatures that have
constantly piqued the interest of children. She died in 1943, leaving
a legacy of tales that still retain their popularity with children
today.
