This study of nearby Shaldon focuses on the river. Following her 1892 visit to Teignmouth 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 the area 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 watercolour drawing of a river, with houses along a projecting spur of land on the left, completed in watercolour over pencil on paper.
