Beatrix visited many times with her entourage of pet animals as a break from London. She liked to try her tales out on the young children there to see their reactions. This dinner card is part of a set of 15 produced by Beatrix for Melford Hall and was used by Ethel Hyde-Parker’s daughter, Stephanie. Names of guests could be inserted into the diagonal slots.\n\nBeatrix Potter (1866-1943) is one of the world's best-loved children's authors and illustrators. She wrote the majority of the twenty-three original Peter Rabbit books between 1901 and 1913. <i>The Tale of Peter Rabbit </i>(Frederick Warne, 1902) is her most famous and best-loved tale.
