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 at the age of 47 in 1913, Beatrix Potter accompanied her parents on extended summer holidays and she often took the opportunity to sketch the places she visited. The Lake District was a favourite location for the family, and Beatrix Potter cemented her own connection with the area in 1905 when she purchased Hill Top near Esthwaite Water, the first of many Lakeland properties that she would own. This pencil sketch has been identified as a view of the Newlands valley, the Newlands Horseshoe of mountains visible in the background. The Newlands valley became the setting for one of Potter’s ‘little books’, The Tale of Mrs Tiggy-Winkle (1905, Frederick Warne & Co.), which is dedicated to ‘the real little Lucy of Newlands’. The fells surrounding the valley feature as part of the background to a number of the illustrations. \r\n","physicalDescription":"A pencil sketch of a valley with a horseshoe of mountains seen in the background.
