Hi, guys. Today I’ll introduce a famous children’s book to you. It’s The Tale of Peter Rabbit, written by Beatrix Potter.
Beatrix was born in 1866. She and her brother kept many small animals as pets—rabbits, mice, frogs and even bats! They both liked to draw their pets, but Beatrix liked drawing animals from her own imagination(想象) most. She also loved enjoying and drawing nature when they visited beautiful places like Scotland and the Lake District.
To make some money, Beatrix started drawing cards with animals. She liked writing and illustrating letters too. One day, she wrote a letter to her friend’s son, and told the story of Peter Rabbit with a lot of beautiful pictures. She decided to make the story into a book. The Tale of Peter Rabbit was published in 1902—and it was a great success! She wrote, illustrated and published many more books. She also created dolls, painting books, games and other things according to her characters.
Three years after The Tale of Peter Rabbit was published, Beatrix bought a farm in the Lake District. She learned about farming and bought more farms and land to help protect the landscape(自然景色). She enjoyed country life very much, and was very active in protecting the environment. When Beatrix died, she left almost all her farms and land to the National Trust, an organization which protects historic places and landscapes. You can even visit Hill Top Farm today, which is exactly like it was when Beatrix lived there!
So if you haven’t read The Tale of Peter Rabbit, or other Beatrix Potter’s books, why not visit your local library or bookshop today!
