When she got lonely, she turned to the animals in her playroom: rabbits, mice, frogs, hedgehogs... even a snake! From an early age, she was a talented painter, and she published her art as a young woman. Her dream of becoming a children's book author, though, didn't come true until she was in her mid-thirties. After writing a letter about four little bunnies to a friend's son, Beatrix created \u003ci\u003eThe Tale of Peter Rabbit\u003c\/i\u003e. The story was turned down several times but was finally picked up by Frederick Warne \u0026amp; Co. Beatrix spent the rest of her life in the countryside, painting, drawing, farming, and protecting the land she loved so much.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Penguin Young Readers Group","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47009239466224,"sku":"9780241249376","price":3.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780241249376_p0.jpg?v=1763679427","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780241249376","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
