  • "This volume presents a combination of biographical information and description of the farm of English author Beatrix Potter (1866-1943). Potter is best known for her imaginative children's books featuring animals such as those in The Tale of Peter Rabbit which celebrated the British landscape and country life. This work details the exterior and interior of Potter's Hill Top Farm in Near Sawrey, a tiny village in the English Lake District near Ambleside which provided the backgrounds for many of her book illustrations. She fought vigorously to preserve the beauty of the Lake District and its rural ways, leaving her estate to the National Trust, Britain's leading conservation agency. Her substantial collection of Lake District antiques reflected the influential Arts & Crafts movement, which emphasized the integrity of handmade objects in a period of increasing mechanization. The book takes us on a tour of the farm, alternating the artist's original photographs and watercolors with photographs of the building and countryside as they look today. The book also includes letters and diary excerpts, further exploring the relationship between Potter's home in the Lake District and her iconic artwork."
