N'hésitez pas, c'est juste de l'art, je suis absolument fane.

Je recommande ces oeuvres pour petits et grands. Et en même temps, je me dis que peut-être, je n'aurai pas autant apprécié l'oeuvre.

Je regrette vraiment de ne pas avoir connu plus jeune. Que ça soit pour l'écriture, mais également ses dessins. Et j'ai reçu pour mon anniversaire l'intégral (en français).Įt que dire ? Je suis tombée amoureuse. Ce n'est qu'il y a quelques mois que j'ai commencé à vraiment y jeter un coup d'oeil. Plus tard, j'en avais entendu parlé, mais toujours sans vraiment m'y intéresser. Je dois vous avouer que je n'ai absolument pas grandi en connaissant l'oeuvre de Beatrix Potter. While it rarely impacts the understanding of the story, there was one in which not knowing what something was did make it quite confusing. One thing to keep in mind is that there are words or things that are no longer in popular use today that come up in some of the stories. Though some of the stories kept me so pulled in I didn't want to look at the drawing in detail until later because I just wanted to find out the ending of that story. Some stories were a bit nonsensical or absurd, though, maybe that is part of the point of those? It was also interesting to see what was considered appropriate for children in the early 1900s compared to today.Įven though I didn't love all the stories and rhymes, seeing all the lovely paintings and drawings by Potter was a delight. While a lot of these stories I remember hearing as a child there were also a decent number I hand not read before. One of the things I liked about this collection of Beatrix Potter stories, rhymes, and paintings is that before each there is text explaining a bit about the story such as when it was written, what was going on in her life at the time it was written, etc. Her stories have been retold in various formats, including a ballet, films, and in animation. Potter's books continue to sell well throughout the world, in multiple languages. Potter died in 1943 and left almost all of her property to The National Trust in order to preserve the beauty of the Lake District as she had known it, protecting it from developers. She became a sheep breeder and farmer while continuing to write and illustrate children's books. In her forties, she married a local solicitor, William Heelis. Potter eventually published 24 children's books, the most recent being The Tale of Kitty-in-Boots (2016), and having become financially independent of her parents, was able to buy a farm in the Lake District, which she extended with other purchases over time. In her thirties, Potter published the highly successful children's book The Tale of Peter Rabbit and became secretly engaged to her publisher, Norman Warne, causing a breach with her parents, who disapproved of his social status. Because she was a woman, her parents discouraged intellectual development, but her study and paintings of fungi led her to be widely respected in the field of mycology. She had numerous pets, and through holidays in Scotland and the Lake District, developed a love of landscape, flora, and fauna, all of which she closely observed and painted. Helen Beatrix Potter was an English author, illustrator, mycologist, and conservationist who is best known for her children's books, which featured animal characters such as Peter Rabbit.īorn into a wealthy household, Potter was educated by governesses and grew up isolated from other children.

As with the packaging, May's reading is geared to older listeners, for while it's not fast, neither is it toddler-page-turning slow.

Peter Rabbit is young and reckless, Squirrel Nutkin as rude as can be, the cats sound dangerous, and the mice in the "Tailor of Gloucester"-well, they sound just like most sociable mice I know. That said, Nadia May's dramatization is very good.
