More About the Author
Product Description
Product Description
This beautiful 'coffee table' book features stunning photographs from the National Trust's extensive photo library, and covers the area of the Lake District associated with Beatrix Potter. Alongside the photographs are related Beatrix Potter watercolour landscape paintings and illustrations from her famous Tales, revealing the way the Lake District countryside inspired her.
With minimal text and map references to the areas pictured, this makes an informative visual guide to this popular area of the English countryside. Also includes a double-page spread of photographs from the film Miss Potter starring Renee Zellweger, released in January 2007.
The text is by travel writer Gilly Cameron Cooper who is a big Beatrix Potter devotee, and includes an introduction by the director of the National Trust, Fiona Reynolds.
About the Author
Beatrix Potter (1866-1943). Her passion for the natural world lay behind the creation of her famous little books. A particular source of inspiration was the Lake District where she lived for the last thirty years of her life as a farmer and conservationist.

Format:Hardcover
Bought this book for my Mum, who's now in her mid-eighties and unable to travel or go away - it's been wonderful for her as it is full of pictures of this area of the Lakes and has given her immense pleasure and brought back lots of lovely memories - she looks at it repeatedly and finds something new to look at each time - it's truly full of information and wonderful pictures - would be a good coffee table book as might inspire someone younger to visit this area of the UK - good value, too.

This is a beautiful book, very well researched and glossily produced. It is a fresh slant on this wonderful area, which should prove a joy to all, and a timely balance to the film "Miss Potter".
Listmania!
