A propos de cet article

Cloth, black cover-title, 8vo, 22 cm, [6], 7-175, [1] pp, 20 plates pp. ills (some colour), From the blurb - "Few lives have been more jealously hidden from the public eye than Beatrix Potter s. Even in old age, when she had long been famous, and the children of two generations had been brought up on Peter Rabbit and her other nursery masterpieces, she preferred to remain unknown, and behind her everyday character of a Lakeland farmer - crusty, humorous, locally formidable - to conceal the artist. When she died in December, 1943, no-one, not even her husband, knew the whole story of her life. Her lonely Victorian childhood, her struggles for independence, her unhappy love-affair and happy marriage, the accidental influences that developed her genius, are here told for the first time by Margaret Lane. There is much, even to Beatrix Potter s own friends, which will be unknown and new, and which contributes valuable detail to this study of a creative artist who has given greater pleasure than any other to the children of the world." Spine cocked, paperclip mark on half-title,otherwise Good in worn dustwrapper, torn with loss. Short note of Karen Harrekilde Petersen laid in. N° de réf. du vendeur ABE-59410
