Helen Beatrix Potter 28 July — 22 December was an English writer, illustrator, natural scientist , and conservationist best known for her children's books featuring animals, such as those in The Tale of Peter Rabbit. Potter had an isolated childhood, separate from other children, and educated by governesses. However, her numerous pets and holidays in the Lake District, culminated in a love of landscape, flora and fauna. These became the subjects of her paintings, and literary works. Although prevented from higher education by society's attitudes to women at the time, Potter's study and watercolors of fungi led to her being widely respected in the field of mycology. She also had a successful career in farming and breeding, based in Hill Top Farm in a village in the Lake District.

What makes her books so unique? Potter paid great attention to the words and descriptions of her animal characters. Wight, 26th June Throughout her life Beatrix Potter was a letter-writer and keeper of a journal. In her letters however, her sense of humour comes across. Her letters and tales often contained sketches of the animals and wild life of her beloved Lake District. Her first book, The Tale of Peter Rabbit, was initially written as a letter to the poorly son of her former governess Annie Moore. As her fame spread around the world Potter continued to write letter to her fans. Beatrix Potter was home schooled and it maybe that her lack of formal education ensured that she maintained her originality.
