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.  \n\nThis evocative watercolour sketch reveals Potter's fondness for recording the landscapes around her. Her family would take long 3 month annual summer breaks, initially staying in Scotland before discovering the Lake District. However, this landscape is of the countryside around Long Melford, sketched on a holiday spent in Suffolk.
