比阿特丽克斯·波特出生于19世纪60年代伦敦的一个富人家庭，她的想象力一直很丰富。她早期的兴趣包括自然历史和考古学，波特喜欢画化石和菌类的素描。在和她的哥哥伯特伦一起为圣诞卡做了简要的插图后，波特为她著名的书《彼得兔的故事》写了插图。这本书曾被几家出版社拒绝出版，直到1902年弗雷德里克·沃恩终于冒险出版了这个故事——这个冒险得到了回报。彼得兔获得了巨大的成功，读者们都很喜欢听彼得在英国绿树成荫的乡村的冒险故事。随着年龄的增长，贝娅特丽克丝·波特成为了一名自豪的环保主义者，她努力保护自己热爱的土地不受工业化和伐木的影响。如今，彼得兔已经100多岁了，它和它的动物朋友们已经成为文化的标杆，并继续为各年龄段的读者带来乐趣。

Born into wealth in 1860's London, Beatrix Potter always had a vivid imagination. Her early interests included natural history and archaeology, and Potter delighted in sketching fossils and fungi. After briefly illustrating Christmas cards with her brother, Bertram, Potter wrote and illustrated her well-known book, The Tale of Peter Rabbit. The book was rejected by several publishes until Frederick Warne eventually took a risk and published the story in 1902 - a risk that paid off. Peter Rabbit was a huge success and readers loved hearing about Peter's mischevious adventures in the lush English countryside. As she got older, Beatrix Potter became a proud conservationist, working hard to defend the landscape she loved so well against industrialization and logging. Now over one hundred years old, Peter Rabbit and his animal friends have become cultural touchstones and continue to delight readers of all ages.
