Beatrix Would Approve

I have this book as well as many others regarding Beatrix Potter. However, this book is my favourite and really goes into depth about her life. If you are a true Beatrix Potter fan, you shouldn't be without it.

early photos, biography, artistic background

This book is interesting for so many reasons: the development of a precocious artist, the world she grew up in, natural history, and publishing. I really enjoyed the early photographs of Potter and her family, as well as the many sketches and works rarely seen by those who know only her children's books.
