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\nPotter loved to sketch the British landscape, especially the Lake District. She purchased Hill Top farm and farmhouse in 1905 and in 1913 moved permanently to the area from London after marrying the Hawkshead solicitor, William Heelis. Potter loved to sketch the countryside at all different times of year and this quick sketch emanates a delicate impression of Spring-time's influence on the land. Small dabs of colour are used to great effect.","physicalDescription":"Drawing in watercolour over pencil of a stream running through a field. Pink blossom tree in mid ground; purple sky.
