Born July 28, 1866, Beatrix Potter spent a solitary childhood with long holidays in the country. On one such trip, she wrote and illustrated a story for a sick friend, about four bunnies named Flopsy, Mopsy, Cotton-tail and Peter. She later published that story, and more than 20 others. Potter's tales of Peter Rabbit, Jemima Puddle-Duck, Benjamin Bunny and others have become children's classics.© 2013 A+E Networks. All rights reserved.
