The Tale of Beatrix Potter by MARGARET LANE abridged for radio in five parts by JANET HICKSON Read by Mary Wimbush (1)
A biography of Beatrix Potter (1866-1943), one of the most celebrated children's authors and illustrators. After a lonely but affluent childhood in London she only found real happiness when she made her home in the Lake District. In between lay much personal sadness, but out of it came her greatest creation - the Peter Rabbit stories.
