Have you seen the delightful picture book biography, Saving the Countryside: The Story of Beatrix Potter and Peter Rabbit<\/em> by by Linda Elovitz Marshall and illustrated by Ilaria Urbinati?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Beatrix Potter is a beloved children\u2019s book author and illustrator, best known for her book, The Tale of Peter Rabbit<\/em><\/a>*, but she did much more. In addition to writing and illustrating 23 books, she also studied fungi, designed tea sets and toys, became an astute business woman, and later in life took up farming.<\/p>\n

Linda Marshall\u2019s biography covers highlights of Potter\u2019s entire life in chronological order, but emphasizes the later years when Beatrix turned her efforts to preserving open land in England\u2019s Lake District. All in all, Beatrix Potter donated over four thousand acres to the National Trust so that they could be preserved for future generations. That\u2019s an amazing accomplishment.<\/p>\n

In her \u201cAuthor\u2019s Note\u201d in the back matter, Linda Marshall reveals she was stirred to write about Beatrix Potter after visiting the Lake District during a children\u2019s author tour of England. Now Marshall\u2019s rousing biography is likely to inspire and encourage her readers, as well.<\/p>\n

Saving the Countryside<\/em> is a wonderful choice for women\u2019s history month, for budding artists and writers, and for those interested in conservation issues. Read a copy today and see how it stirs you.<\/p>\n
