Beatrix Potter

Standard Name: Potter, Beatrix
Birth Name: Helen Beatrix Potter

BP gained fame as a writer of little books for children, about animals which to some degree resemble humans, illustrated in watercolour by herself. Some of them draw on fable, riddles, and fairy stories. She also created scientific drawings of plant life. Her ambitions as an author for adults remained largely unfulfilled.
