by Beatrix Potter Judy TaylorBeatrix Potter was a very private person, yet, luckily for us, she was a prolific letter writer. Through her own words to friends, working colleagues and children we can discover the observant, energetic, affectionate and humorous personality she kept hidden from her public.

She was living in an orphanage in Sierra Leone at the time, but was soon adopted by a family and brought to America.
