Today in 1866 Beatrix Potter was born, creator of children's stories and the character Peter Rabbit
Today the famous writer of children's stories, Beatrix Potter, would be celebrating her birthday. It managed to stand out for bringing quite attractive and childish stories, although with quite mature touches. Also, his famous character Peter Rabbit is quite loved by everyone to this day.
Potter was always considered an illustrious creator of children's content, although with certain mature touches between her stories. For this reason, his stories have managed to attract all kinds of audiences, with all kinds of adaptations of his books that have been released in recent years being quite successful.
This was reflected by M. Daphne Kutzer, a professional who has been in charge of analyzing Potter's stories for several years. In this way, one of his words speaks about the incredible maturity in the artist's stories:
She never attempted to write a novel, but it's fair to say that a number of her children's books are actually novels — her characters and plots are as complex and as open to interpretation as any novel published at the time.
At the age of 24, Beatrix publishes her most famous book to date, Peter Rabbit, or well known in Spanish as The story of Perico, the mischievous rabbit. In this way, the artist wanted this story to be different from the others, being short and with many illustrations.
Peter Rabbit's success was immediate, leading Potter to fame and continuing to create incredible stories through today's famous publisher, Frederick Warne & Co. Ltd. Throughout his life, he created more than twenty books that are highly acclaimed and loved by children.
In her last years of life, Beatrix Potter dedicated herself to farming and raising sheep. In addition, he tried to give a large amount of his fortune to take care of nature, buying a variety of land, which, at present, is owned by the famous non-profit foundation, National Trus t.
Today, Beatrix Potter would be turning 153 years old. His legacy has become so enormous that hundreds of thousands of people have come together to celebrate this memorial date for him. Therefore, the excellence of the artist continues to be observed even after her death.
