About This Item
The Tale of Peter Rabbit was Beatrix Potter's first book and many believe it to be her best. Judy Taylor, the author of "Beatrix Potter, Artist, Storyteller and Countrywoman", traces the extraordinary publishing history of 'The Tale of Peter Rabbit and at the same time tells the story of its famous creator.
At the age of 8, Judy Taylor discovered Beatrix Potter's beloved Lake District when she was sent to boarding school there at the beginning of the war. When she joined The Bodley Head in 1951, she specialised in children's books, and for fiftern years was their Children's Books editor. In 1971 she was awarded the MBE for her services to children's literature. In 1981, Frederick Warne asked Judy to act as their Beatrix Potter consultant.
