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\r\nBefore her marriage in 1913, Beatrix Potter accompanied her family on extended summer holidays and she often took the opportunity to sketch the places she visited. From 1885 the family spent numerous summers staying near Keswick in the Lake District, where this pencil and grey wash study of woodland was made. Potter’s connection to the Lake District was cemented by her purchase of Hill Top in 1905, but it wasn’t until she married Lakeland solicitor William Heelis in 1913 that she settled there permanently. \r\n","physicalDescription":"A pencil and wash drawing of a fence and gate leading into a woodland, with a large tree in the centre of the composition.
