Each title in the "Tell Me About" series tells the life story of an eminent individual in simple language and with an array of photographs. Beatrix Potter is undoubtedly a huge figure in children's literature and one who inspires much loyalty and love. She is a favourite not just in the classroom but is one of the few authors that children will spend their own pocket money on! The mixture of text and photographs in this book tells the story of Beatrix's own childhood and what inspired her to become a writer of children's books.
