The author of Peter Rabbit and other tales, Beatrix Potter is still, after a century, beloved by children and adults worldwide.

With help from her entourage of talking animal friends, Beatrix sets out to win over the human hearts of Sawrey, where she's just bought an old farm--and plans to stay.

Kimberly J., April 25, 2009 (view all comments by Kimberly J.)
Really a beautiful rendition of the historic times of Beatrix Potter. I think that Albert does a masterful job of showing us Beatrix, without trying to imitate her style. We see Beatrix Potter very much through the animals' viewpoints in the story, which is well plotted, well driven and just really interesting.
