Step into a world where rabbits wear jackets, children discover secret islands, detectives untangle impossible puzzles, murder lurks behind the most ordinary of doors, and life itself is created — with tragic consequences.
We celebrate five extraordinary women who shaped the way Britain, and indeed the world, reads stories. This time, Lynda will be talking about Beatrix Potter. Long before detectives and daring children captured our imaginations, there was a rabbit in a blue jacket. Beatrix Potter transformed the hedgerows and hillsides of Britain into a living stage, where mice wore pinafores and ducks lost their bonnets.
She gave the countryside a voice, and it still speaks to us today.
