About the Author
Anne Stevenson Hobbs, curator of the Beatrix Potter collection at the V&A, has made a selection of Beatrix Potter's finest paintings and drawings, covering the whole range of her subjects and styles. As the creator of one of the world's most celebrated children's characters, Beatrix Potter has rarely been seen as a talented and versatile artist in her own right as in many ways the outstanding success of her 'little books' has overshadowed her other achievements.
