Description

The Tale of Beatrix Potter by Margaret Lane. "I don't know what to write to you, so I shall tell you a story about four little rabbits whose names were Flopsy, Mopsy, Cottontail and Peter . . ." And that - a letter to a small boy called Noel - was the beginning of the Beatrix Potter books. In Margaret Lane's sympathetic biography, first published in 1946 and now re-issued, the recent decoding of Beatrix Potter's secret diaries has strengthened, in particular, the early chapters, describing her isolated London up-bringing, her agonising shyness, and as a young woman, her longing for the spirit-world of childhood back again. The book has light general wear but remains tight and bright.
