When Beatrix Potter died in 1943 no one, not even her husband, knew the full story of her life. Despite her fame, she preffered anonymity, hiding her creative genius beneath the persona of a formidable Lakeland farmer. Lane's now famous biography was first published in 1946 and revealed much of Potter's life for the first time - her lonely Victorian childhood; her struggles for independence; her unhappy love affair and happy marriage; and the accidental influences that shaped her artistry. Much more has come to light since this biography was first written which adds valuable new material to a full and definitive work. This 1985 edition has an updated introduction and contains many previously unpublished photographs. Contains 174 pages, 21.5 x 13cm, with 8 pages of b&w plates and 8 facsimile pages of writings and drawings by Potter. Ex-library, front… Read More
