Return to the Page for Anne Lambelet

A Beatrix Potter biography that brings to life the creatures of the natural world she loved and the many endearing animal characters she created.

Potter’s stories featured a world of unforgettable animal characters that have entertained youngsters for several generations. But Potter was more than a children’s author — she was also an accomplished artist, a forward-looking farmer, and a committed preservationist. In her later years, she helped save over 4,000 acres of farms and wooded areas in the Lake District region of England.
