In 1866, Beatrix Potter was born in London to Mancunian parents. She had a great interest in the natural sciences, but her career in academia was stalled. However, her detailed and accurate drawings of fungi are still admired and used today. Her children’s books grew out of the imaginative letters she sent to the children of her former governess. She wrote and drew the series from the beginning of the twentieth century until the end of World War I, when she turned her attention to sheep farming on her land in the Lake District. After her death in 1943, she left her lands to the National Trust, where they are still enjoyed by daytrippers and holidaymakers today. The World of Peter Rabbit The Complete Collection includes 23 classic children’s books, to encourage reading for all ages. Whether you’re looking for kids’ books for bedtime stories, or want to encourage independent reading, look no further than this set! The set contains:
