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\nThis is a view of the Newlands Horseshoe of mountains in the Lake District seen from the Newlands Valley. The drawing is dated 13th September 1904, when Beatrix Potter was staying at nearby Lingholm. The Newlands Valley forms the setting for her book The Tale of Mrs Tiggy-winkle, published by Frederick Warne in 1905, and it is possible that this drawing was made in connection with Potter’s ideas for backgrounds for the book illustrations. The backdrop to one of the last illustrations in the book (p.57 in the 1987 edition) looks to show a similar viewpoint. The book is dedicated to ‘the real little Lucie of Newlands’. \r\n","physicalDescription":"A sketch showing a view of mountains from a valley, with buildings in the foreground and the hills worked up in vivid watercolour.
