The Original Potter

Long before Harry, there was Beatrix.

Beatrix Potter’s tales feature a delightful collection of animals, including the mischievous Peter Rabbit who was originally sketched in a letter to the son of her governess in 1893.

Beatrix Potter has now been brought to life on the big screen in Miss Potter. Best known for her Peter Rabbit books, Beatrix was also a botanical scientist and illustrator who recorded her daily thoughts in secret code. She would go on to become a farmer and sheep breeder, in addition to having written her much-loved children's books.

Peter Rabbit was privately printed in 1901 and again in 1902 before being published by the company who later went on to publish all her subsequent picture books, Frederick Warne.
