Following her 1892 visit to the town she said in her journal: ‘I looked with interest across the muddy estuary at Teignmouth where Fanny Burney wrote her sprightly journal in 1773…’ Potter also visited Teignmouth in 1909 and 1910. \r\n\r\nBeatrix Potter 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.  The Tale of Peter Rabbit (Frederick Warne, 1902) is her most famous and best-loved tale.  \r\n","physicalDescription":"A drawing of a small boat on a river, across which a bridge can be seen, completed in watercolour over pencil on paper.
