Beatrix Potter (1866-1943) was born into a wealthy family in London, England. She never went to school and learned reading, music and music from many governesses. art. Many rich women of that era were like this. Her parents were overprotective of their children, so she rarely had the opportunity to play with other children. However, she was not alone. She and her brother adopted many small animals, including rabbits, lizards, frogs, snakes, dormice, dogs, hedgehogs... These small animals are the protagonists in her stories.

In addition to Beatrix Potter's words, what fascinates readers all over the world are her own hand-drawn illustrations. From a very young age, Beatrix Potter began to draw these little animals tirelessly, so the little animals in the more than 100 illustrations she drew are highly realistic and full of moving details; in Beatrix Potter In her mind, these animals are living beings like us, with the same emotions and joys as humans, so the small animals she draws are highly anthropomorphic, and each one has its own personality, making people want to see it again.

On September 4, 1893, Porter wrote a letter to Noel More, the sick 5-year-old son of her former governess Anne: "Dear child, I don't know what to say to you, so let me tell you the story of a little rabbit named Peter..." The eight-page illustrated letter tells the story of a little rabbit named Peter. The story of the little rabbit. Seven years later, in 1900, she had the idea of ??publishing a book, so she borrowed all these letters, expanded them, and published "The Story of Peter Rabbit" at her own expense on Christmas of the next year, printing 250 copies. In October 1902, "The Story of Peter Rabbit" was officially published. The first edition of 8,000 copies was sold out before it was published, and 20,000 copies were immediately reprinted. This palm-sized picture book has become popular all over the world. Although Beatrix was confident in her stories, she never expected her stories to be so successful, perhaps because they were truly written specifically for young children, she said.
