In the case of Beatrix Potter, the elements of inspiration can be derived from reading biographical facts. Born into a wealthy Victorian family in London in 1866, young Beatrix spent much of her time observing the little animals that lived nearby or roamed the countryside of the Lake District where she spent her summers. Her parents didn�¢t spend much time with her and her brother, Bertram, went to boarding school, leaving Beatrix to herself under the care of governesses. Sketching and writing in her journal took up a great deal of her time, as did her study of animals and plants. It is easy to speculate that her imagination prospered in such a lonely environment, and that the animals endeared themselves to her during her frequent interactions with them. Beatrix also showed particular interest in the study of fungi, and probably would have pursued this specialty had she not been born a woman. Her attempts to access to the academic world of botanists were rebuked due to her gender, so she redirected her energies to animals and to writing. She wrote stories and then presented them to children as gifts. Eventually, under the guidance of friend and writer Hardwicke Rawnsley, Beatrix considered sending them in for publication. Her first story

Potter's popularity has shown no sign of diminishing since she created the timeless children's books. "Once upon a time there were four little Rabbits, and their names were - Flopsy, Mopsy, Cottontail, and Peter. They lived with their Mother in a sand-bank, underneath the root of a very big tree" (from The Tale of Peter Rabbit Beatrix Potter was born in South Kensington, London, as the only daughter of Rupert Potter, a wealthy rentier . His father's property came from the Lancashire cotton industry as her wife's. Potter spent a sheltered childhood with her brother Bertram, who was five years younger. She amused herself by painting, using specimens from the Natural History Museum or sketching the nature in the Lake District, where the family spent summer holidays. Potter had also pets, including rabbits. Her London home she lated described as "my unloved birthplace". Potter never went to school, but was taught at home by a governess. She learned to read from Sir Walter Scott's novels and Maria Edgeworth's works. As a young woman she still lived at her parent's house. From the age of fifteen until she was past thirty, she recorded her everyday life in her own secret code-writing.

A product of Victorian times, she far surpassed societal expectations of women of her era and class. She was an accomplished botanical illustrator, a sheep breeder and farmer, a wife, and a conservationist greatly devoted to her home, the Lake District of England. Advertisement: Born in 1866 in London, to a wealthy Victorian family, (Helen) Beatrix was one of two children (she had a brother, Bertram). She was home schooled by governesses. As Bertram was sent away to private school, Beatrix was often alone. She always loved animals. Whenever possible, she smuggled mice, rabbits and hedgehogs into the house. The family spent three-month summer holidays in the country, at the Lake District in England, or in Scotland. One spot the family often returned to when Beatrix was in her teens was Wray Castle, on the west shore of Windermere, in the Lake District. It was there that she met Hardwicke Rawnsley, a writer who was, at that time, the Vicar of Wray. This man influenced Potter throughout much of her life. He loved the Lake District and hated any encroachments into it, including railroads. He also took an interest in Beatrix's animals?¢she often took them on holiday in hutches or boxes?¢and he encouraged her early painting. Most people at this time did not think young ladies should consider such artistic occupations.

18. Beatrix Potter In Cumbria A brief biography of Beatrix Potter, famous for her books about animals such as Tom Kitten and Benjamin Bunny. Many of her books were inspired by early visits and later living in http://www.visitcumbria.com/beatrix-potter.htm

Beatrix Potter in Cumbria Beatrix Potter was born on 28 July 1866 in South Kensington, London. She lived a lonely life at home, being educated by a governess and having little contact with other people. She had many animals which she kept as pets, studying them and making drawings. Her parents took her on three month summer holidays to Scotland, but when the house they rented became unavailable, they rented Wray Castle near Ambleside in the Lake District. Beatrix was 16 when they first stayed here. Her parents entertained many eminent guests, including Hardwicke Rawnsley vicar of Low Wray Church , who in 1895 was to become one of the founders of the National Trust. His views on the need to preserve the natural beauty of Lakeland had a lasting effect on the young Beatrix, who had fallen in love with the unspoilt beauty surrounding the holiday home. For the next 21 years on and off, the Potters holidayed in the Lake District, staying once at Wray Castle, once at Fawe Park , twice at Holehird and nine times at Lingholm , by Derwentwater , famous now for its rhododendron gardens. Beatrix loved Derwentwater, and explored Catbells behind Lingholm. She watched squirrels in the woods, saw rabbits in the vegetable gardens of the big house. She made many sketches of the landscape. They still kept in touch with Rev Rawnsley, who after 5 years at Wray, moved to
