Respected biographer Sarah Gristwood discovers a life crisscrossed with contradictions and marked by tragedy, yet one that left a remarkable literary - and environmental - legacy.This illustrated biography of the beloved writer has been a strong seller and critical success. It is now available in a smaller, more affordable format. Interest in Beatrix Potter and her characters is undimmed, with the second Peter Rabbit film being released in summer 2021 and an exhibition at the V\u0026amp;A from February 2022, 'Beatrix Potter: Drawn to Nature'.Few people realise how extraordinary Beatrix Potter's own story is. She was a woman of contradictions. A sheltered Victorian daughter who grew into an astute modern businesswoman. A talented artist who became a scientific expert. A famous author who gave it all up to become a farmer, then a pioneering conservationist.Bestselling biographer Sarah Gristwood follows the twists and turns of Beatrix Potter s life and its key turning points - including her tragically brief first engagement and happy second marriage late in life. She traces the creation of Beatrix s most famous characters - including the naughty Peter Rabbit, confused Jemima Puddleduck and cheeky Squirrel Nutkin - revealing how she drew on her unusual childhood pets and locations in her beloved Lake District.A fitting legacy for a pioneering conservationist who helped save thousands of acres of the Lake District. - The Mail on Sunday Excellent, anecdotal text  - The Times Literary Supplement Beautifully illustrated. - The Sunday Express\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51972105208096,"sku":"NEW1911657402","price":28.88,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/71AAch4xhuL.jpg?v=1783792478","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/the-story-of-beatrix-potter-her-enchanting-work-and-surprising-life-1911657402","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
