A delightful and inspirational biography

After watching the movie, Miss Potter, I was compelled to learn more about Beatrix Potter. This book is very well written by Judy Taylor, and Patricia Routledge’s presentation is fabulous. It was is a joy to listen to. Beatrix Potter was truly an amazing woman. In today’s current world of CoVid lockdowns, people can learn a lot about how isolation can awaken the imagination. Creativity is the a driving force of making this world a better place. Beatrix Potter is a prime example of how one person can make a difference in this world.

Beatrix Potter was an artist and so much more!

The author presents a straightforward yet inspiring recount of Beatrix Potter's life and legacy. I commend her for not adding unnecessary padding in the writing of this book. Instead she has let Beatrix Potter's life speak for itself. My enjoyment of the book was further enhanced by Patricia Routledge's excellent narration. Here I learned that Beatrix Potter was a remarkable, unconventional woman with many talents. Her deep love of nature and animals was interwoven into them all.
