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\nThe mole character in this humorous scene showing a visit from a doctor is a caricature of a Dr Culbard, who attended the Potter family in Scotland. Beatrix Potter described meeting the doctor in her journal entry for 20 August 1892 during a stay at Birnam in Perthshire:\r\n\r\n‘Mamma went into Dunkeld with the pony, and, coming out of Miss Anderson’s shop, caught her heel and came down. She cut her elbow badly, to the bone. Went with her to Dr. Culbard, who was kind and very fat and snuffy.’\r\n","physicalDescription":"A drawing of a mouse laying in bed, with a table and a medicine bottle beside it.
