Customer Reviews

A great companion volume for fans of Miss Potter!

I have always loved Beatrix Potter's children's tales, and the movie version of her life starring Renee Zellweger, "Miss Potter" was a true classic...moving in its character exploration, beautiful in its execution and depiction of the beauty of the Lake District, and truly inspiring. If you loved the movie or are simply a fan of all things Potter [Beatrix, not the wizard]...you'll love & treasure this guide to the movie. It is lushly illustrated with full-color pictures, and takes readers behind the scenes of the movie, with insights by the director, producer, scriptwriter, and Zellweger herself. I also plan to get 'Beatrix Potter: A Journal",and "At Home with Beatrix Potter: The Creator of Peter Rabbit" to add to my collection.

Adults love her too!

Somehow growing up I missed all the Beatrix Potter stories. I find them delightful now and am going to share them with my grandchildren. This book about the making of the movie makes me really want to see the movie. I enjoyed it thoroughly. I highly reccomend it.
