This new edition of Beatrix Potter's Lakeland includes stunning examples of Beatrix Potter's work, some of which have not been published before. The paintings, taken from the Tales themselves and from Beatrix Potter's sketchbooks, not only celebrate Beatrix Potter's unique talent but also give the reader an opportunity to compare the beauty of the Lakes today with the paintings they inspired. Hunter Davies takes an affectionate look at the relationship between the beautiful Lakeland countryside and the very private woman who was inspired by it, painted it, farmed it and helped preserve it for future generations to enjoy. Cressida Pemberton-Piggot's breathtaking photographs provide the perfect foil for Beatrix Potter's own watercolours and sketches. That indefinable, pervasive magic of Lakeland, can receive no finer celebration than the words and pictures in this glorious book. It is a fitting tribute to both Beatrix Potter and the land she loved.
