She had numerous pets and spent holidays in Scotland and the Lake District, developing a love of landscape, flora, and fauna, all of which she closely observed and painted.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePotter had frogs and newts, and even a pet bat. The basis of her many projects and stories were the small animals that she smuggled into the house or observed during family holidays in Scotland and the Lake District. She was encouraged to publish her story, The Tale of Peter Rabbit (1902), but she struggled to find a publisher until it was accepted when she was 36, by Frederick Warne \u0026amp; Co. The small book and her following works were extremely well received and she gained an independent income from the sales. Potter eventually wrote 23 books. These were published in a small format, easy for a child to hold and read. In her thirties, Potter published the highly successful children's book, \u003ci\u003eThe Tale of Peter Rabbit\u003c\/i\u003e. Potter began writing and illustrating children's books full-time. Potter wrote about 30 books; the best known being her 24 children's tales.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"eBooksLib","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47126431400176,"sku":"9781412162937","price":2.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781412162937_p0.jpg?v=1763726729","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781412162937","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
