 Beatrix Potter spent a solitary childhood with long holidays in the country. Potter loved to sketch animals and later wrote some stories about them. 
In 1902, Potter published The Tale of Peter Rabbit, This book was so successful her career as a children's author commenced. More than 20  books for children soon followed. Potter's tales of Peter Rabbit, Jemima Puddle-Duck, Benjamin Bunny and others have become children's classics. She died in 1943.

In 1913, Potter married local lawyer William Heelis. She only produced a few more books after tying the knot.   Potter published The Fairy Caravan in 1926,

Instead of writing, Potter focused much of her attention on her farms and land preservation in the Lake District. She was a successful breeder of sheep and well regarded for her work to protect the beautiful countryside she adored., but only in the United States. She thought the book was too autobiographical to be released in England. The Tale of Little Pig Robinson (1930) proved to be her final children's book.
Potter died on December 22, 1943, in Sawrey, England. In her will, she left much of her land holdings to the National Trust to protect it from development and to preserve it for future generations. Potter also left behind a mystery—she had written a journal in code. The code was finally cracked and the work published in 1966 as The Journal of Beatrix Potter. To this day, generation after generation is won over by her charming tales and illustrations.
