Share the Magic of Beatrix Potter with Your Family

This program recounts the fascinating life story of internationally beloved author Beatrix Potter. More than just a children's writer, Potter was a compelling storyteller and artist who brought classic characters like Jemima Puddleduck, Mrs. Tiggywinkle and Peter Rabbit to life with her beautifully detailed illustrations.Seventy-five years after her death, British actress and Patron of the Beatrix Potter Society Patricia Routledge takes viewers on a journey to Potter's home in the English countryside, where she examines an original sketchbook and even reads passages from the personal journal Beatrix began during her teenage years.A passionate fan and Patron of the Beatrix Potter Society, Routledge presents viewers with a close-up look at Potter's illustrations, the Cumbrian farmland she called home, and even a personal journal begun during her teenage years. Released in 2016 to commemorate her 150th birthday, the program also ties into the release of The Tale of Kitty-In-Boots, a story that was written just before World War I but never published during the lifetime of its remarkable author.Watch on WSKG TV Friday, June 2, 2017 at 10:30pm.https://youtu.be/gc_xDHx8vcI
