42、animal characters such as in the childrens classic - The Tale of Peter Rabbit. Beatrix was born into a rich London-based family where she was tutored by very strict private teachers and so spent her youth isolated from other youngsters. During her youth she had a lot of pets and spent vacations in S

43、cotland and also the Lake District. It was at the Lake District that she developed a love of wildlife. She studied the areas natural wonders carefully and painted them continuously. But her old-fashioned, Manchester-born parents discouraged her intellectual improvement, thinking it inappropriate for

44、 a young lady. However, her study and watercolour paintings of wild mushrooms made her widely respected within the field of biology. In her 30s, Beatrix Potter wrote the remarkably successful kids book, The Tale of Peter Rabbit. Close to that time she became secretly engaged to her publisher Norman

45、Warne. This caused a great disagreement with her parents, who did not approve of Beatrix getting married to somebody of lower social status. Sadly, Warne died before the marriage ceremony. Ultimately Beatrix Potter began writing and also illustrating (绘图) kids books full-time. Using profits from her

46、 books, Beatrix grew to become economically independent of her parents and was eventually in a position to buy Hill Top Farm in the Lake District. She extended the property with additional purchases of neighbouring land over time. In her 40s, Bestrix married William Heelis, a local lawyer. She ended

47、 up becoming a sheep breeder and farmer while continuing to publish as well as illustrate books for children. In all she authored 23 publications. Beatrix died on December 22, 1943, and left the majority of her property to the National Trust. Her books carry on selling well globally, in many differe

48、nt languages. Her stories have been retold in numerous formats including a ballet, movies, and cartoons. Such is her reputation, and that of the characters from her publications, that many Beatrix Potter statues have been created. These tiny Beatrix Potter statues which include pretty much all the actual characters in her publications have become highly valued by art collectors and fans of her literature throughout the world. 59.
