Helen Beatrix Potter
Helen Beatrix Potter was born on the 6th of July 1866 in London. She was an only daughter of rather rich parents. She did not go to school but had classes at home.
Beatrix was fond of two things. They were animals and drawing. She had a lot of small pets at home: a family of snails, mice, a rabbit, bats and a hedgehog. From a small child she did hundreds of drawings of plants and animals and learned to do it very well. She often illustrated her letters to child friends with little animal drawings and told them stories about these animals.
One day in 1893 she wrote to a little boy called Noel Moor. The boy was ill and she wanted to please him and humour him. The letter began with the words: “I don’t know what to write to you so I shall tell you a story about four little rabbits whose names were Flopsy, Mopsy, Cottontail and Peter.” In this letter she told the story of Peter Rabbit and illustrated it with lovely little drawings.
Eight years later Beatrix Potter remembered the letter and the story and wrote her now famous children’s book “The Tale of Peter Rabbit”. The book was very successful and Beatrix Potter became a professional children’s writer. For many years now children in England and in other countries have been enjoying her stories about mice, kittens, ducks, squirrels, hedgehogs and rabbits. And her perfect illustrations make her books even better.
