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\nMany of Beatrix Potter’s imaginary drawings were made in the 1890s, before she published her books. This sketch of a cat knitting, with an additional study of the cat’s head on the same sheet, was linked by the Potter scholar Leslie Linder to a drawing of a cat drinking tea that was perhaps intended for publication by Ernest Nister (see museum object number BP.802). \r\n","physicalDescription":"A full length sketch of a cat knitting, with another study of just the cat's head to the right.
