Her humorous lively tales & beautiful illustrations have become a natural part of childhood. From the revenue from the sales of her books Beatrix Potter bought a farm
- Hill Top
- in the English Lake District where she later became a farmer & prize-winning sheep breeder. She launched the now vast merchandise programme by patenting the very first Peter Rabbit doll in 1903. The product range continues to grow today with licences around the world including baby clothing & bedding nursery decor products & collectables. Upon her death Beatrix Potter left 14 farms & over 4000 acres of Lake District farmland to the National Trust so that the place that she loved would remain undeveloped & protected for future generations to enjoy.
