the World Of Beatrix Potter ™

Long before Beatrix Potter was a published author, she drew illustrations for some of her favourite childhood stories - Cinderella and the Brer Rabbit stories by Uncle Remus. She drew these mostly to please herself, although sometimes she would give the pictures to friends and relatives.

In the early 1890s her first published work appeared - greetings card designs and illustrations for a booklet, A Happy Pair, for the publisher Hildesheimer & Faulkner.

These early drawings represent some of the best of Beatrix Potter's imaginative art.
