Beatrix Potter remains one of the world's best-selling, and one of my most loved, children's authors. She wrote and illustrated 28 books of which I think my mother read most of them to me as a child. I absolutely adore her artwork, being an artist myself. In addition to children's books, she also drew mushrooms and fungi because of her keen interest in farming and conservation. As an artist and writer, she inspired many, although she is not without controversy. In the 1980s, The Tale of Peter Rabbit, as well as Benjamin Bunny, were banned by London schools for only portraying “middle-class rabbits.” These rabbits were seen as having too much privilege according to its critics.
