Hers Is A World Worth Revisiting, Over And Over...
In honor of her 139th birthday, today, I intend to spend a bit of time this evening, at my local bookstore in the children's section, paging through the complete collected works of Beatrix Potter. It's been too long since I have visited the world of Peter Rabbit and all of his assorted animal compatriots. It is a world not without its own traumas and upheavals, but it is also a world that is infinitely more pleasant than our own, most of the time. It's time for a happy little vacation -- the sort that only can be found in certain books!

I simply adore the image of "the mouse tailor" and the one of the pig. Did you know she did all her own illustrations and she self-published? She paid to produce 250 copies and many of those were meant to be gifts. Not long after she got a publisher and the world fell in love. I am smiling.
