Think Beatrix Potter and the first thing that springs to mind is sure to be Peter Rabbit.
The gentle and hilarious tales of Peter and his animal friends have captivated readers down the generations since it was written in 1902.
But there is more, so much more, to Beatrix than many of us perhaps realise. For this marvellous author was also a scientist, conservationist and sheep farmer. And her smart business brain helped her break down barriers at a time when women were seen as the weaker sex.
