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. This landscape sketch may have been made during a visit to the coastal town of Lyme Regis, which Beatrix Potter visited in April 1904, when she made some drawings of the town and its buildings. There is a pencil sketch of a mirror on the verso of this sheet. \r\n\r\nThe Potters’ visits to the West Country inspired some of Beatrix Potter’s writing: she conceived The Tale of Little Pig Robinson (published 1930) whilst staying in south Devon in 1883. The story’s setting is the ‘pretty little town’ of ‘Stymouth’ – a fictional blend of Sidmouth and Teignmouth in south Devon with Lyme Regis in Dorset.\r\n","physicalDescription":"Pencil drawing of a field with a hedgerow and trees inscribed 'Lyme Regis?'
