Who could imagine that a lonely girl, raised within the walls of a Victorian mansion and surrounded by strict social conventions, would revolutionize children's literature with a mischievous rabbit and his blue jacket? Beatrix Potter (United Kingdom, 1866-1943) was a British writer and illustrator known for her charming stories and illustrations of children's books, being one of the most beloved and celebrated authors in children's literature. Her books have been popular among children and adults for generations and have been translated into numerous languages

Before publishing her own works, Potter illustrated some works and worked for the publisher Hildesheimer and Faulkner. Faced with the refusal of several publishers to publish one of her early works, Peter Rabbit, the author decided to print 250 copies and distribute them among family and friends in December 1901. An instant success that caught the attention of Frederick Warne & Co, reconsidering the refusal and publishing the work in 1902. It was the beginning of a wonderful and fruitful career

In addition to the complete tales of Beatrix Potter, she dedicated herself to botany; was an entrepreneur and pioneer. She designed and created the first Peter Rabbit doll in 1903 and launched a line of products dedicated to her stories
