Victoriana and recycling inspire cutting-edge fashion designers Preen, and they’ve used this to great effect to create an eye-catching new cover for The Tale of Squirrel Nutkin , in the Beatrix Potter British Fashion Designer Collection, created to mark the 150 th anniversary of the author’s birth. Nutkin prances on the cover against a montage of wild flowers arranged on a black background. It throws Nutkin into focus and makes us look again at the familiar figure, somehow adding an edgy contemporary feeling to this old favourite. Super-stylish this is very pick-up-able and would make a lovely gift. ~ Andrea Reece

Beatrix Potter was born in London in 1866. During her rather lonely childhood and later, as a young woman, she studied art and natural history. She acquired her love and knowledge of the countryside during family holidays, at first in Scotland and then in the Lake District. She started her career as children's author and illustrator in 1901 when she was thirty-five. In the years before the First World War, demand for her work was so great that she was publishing an average of two new stories a year. As she became financially independent, she was able to buy some land in the Lake District and in 1913, on her marriage to solicitor William Heelis, she moved to live there permanently. For the last thirty years of her life, writing and illustrating gave place to a second career as a sheep farmer and countryside conservationist. Her little books never lost their popularity however and today they sell in their millions, translated into numerous languages, and the pleasures of those timeless tales continue to be enjoyed by children all over the world.
