Leseprobe:

Welcome to The World of Beatrix Potter(TM)May I say, I'm honoured to have been asked to recreate Beatrix Potter's animals in yarn, and only hope I've done justice to the colours and general feel and style of her illustrated creatures.I, like many others of my generation and many others in post and previous generations, have grown up with Beatrix Potter books by my bedside. Her Peter Rabbit and all her fabulous characters have truly played a very big part in my childhood imagination more than any other author, and without doubt are the reason I have been inspired to make and invent characters of my own.She has been, is, and will be, a huge influence to all creatives like myself, now and forever.
