My brother and I were born in London because my father was a lawyer there.
It is something to have a little money to spend on books and to look forward to being independent.
He did not live long, but he fulfilled a useful happy life.
The publisher is a gentleman who prints books, and he wants a bigger book than he has got enough money to pay for!
We are getting lambs here, and should be in full swing on the sheep farms in another week.
It is some years ago since I have walked on the beloved hills, but I remember every stone and rock and stick.
I have never quite understood the secret of Peters perennial charm.
In memory of my mother

Beatrix Potters designs for some letters of the alphabet.
Beatrix Potter and her books have been part of my life for a long time. My first encounter, like that of so many others, was on my mothers lap, and I can hear her voice now reading Mrs Tiggy-winkle to me; it has remained my favourite of all the books.
How I wish I had known that Beatrix Potter was still alive when, as an eight-year-old, I was sent to boarding school in the Lake District at the beginning of the war. I should most certainly have found an excuse to call at Castle Cottage on one of those interminable and wide-ranging walks that took up every Saturday.
When I was a teenager and doing my share of child-minding, it was the time of post-war paper shortage, and the only readily available copies of Beatrix Potters books were in French. Although she was Poupette--Lpingle on the page, Mrs Tiggy-winkle quickly reverted to her old self when read aloud.
Some years later, when I was editing and publishing for children, Beatrix Potters books were a standard against which to measure new picture books. Her uninhibited choice of words, her exquisite watercolours, her marriage of text and illustration have inspired many a young writer and artist to produce their best.
There are by now quite a number of books about Beatrix Potter, and no doubt there will be many more, for she was an intriguingly fascinating woman, but the first of them all, the one that drew attention to the person behind the books, was Margaret Lanes The Tale of Beatrix Potter, published in 1946. That book was my springboard and to the late Margaret Lane I offer my thanks.
I have been given unrestricted access to the Frederick Warne archives, which include fascinating files of correspondence between the company and Beatrix Potter spanning over fifty years, from their first rejection of her sketches in November 1891 to her request, in July 1943, for more copies of her books, as she had given away all she had left as prizes to a party of Girl Guides. I have used Beatrix Potters own words (and her, at times, eccentric spelling) to tell her own story wherever possible, and unless otherwise attributed all the quotations in this book are taken from her letters or from her journals.
In the ten years since the first publication of this book a wealth of Beatrix Potter memorabilia, including letters, photographs and a diary fragment, has been unearthed from attics and safes and has passed through the sale rooms. The publication in 1989 of Beatrix Potters Letters, my selection of some 400 of her letters from a collection of over 1,400, brought to light yet more correspondence, as did the publication in 1992 of Letters to Children from Beatrix Potter
