That was so interesting. I never read about her secret code.
Oh, goodness. Who knew. I love her illustrations, don't you?
I did not know that. I do know her books were some of my mom's favorites. I like them, too.
I just love Beatriz Potter! Well, I bet that journal is an interesting read! Her stories were so charming...some of my grandson's favorites! Thanks for coming by and commenting on my blog. Hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
Oh my goodness, I didn't know that! I just love to read things written, by famous people. (Other than their public writings, I mean.) Like books of their letters and etc.
Must look for this book, in my library system.
Thank you.
