Saving the Countryside by Linda Elovitz Marshall

After self-publishing The Tale of Peter Rabbit, she copyrighted her work and expanded the rabbit’s world: “She also designed toys, games, and tea sets, and she put pictures of Peter Rabbit on them.” With her earnings, she bought property-an unusual move for an unmarried woman-eventually acquiring multiple farms and bequeathing them to the U.K.’s National Trust to “save the countryside that inspired her books.” Though Urbinati’s detailed illustrations skew sweeter than Potter’s own, they appreciably capture Potter’s grit and determination, as well as the enduring charm of her artwork and the animal-filled, windswept countryside she drew.
