Miss Potter
Introduction:
The story begins with Beatrix Potter nervously packing her portfolio and narrating that she is a London singleton, who is frowned upon by many, especially her mother, for her ambitions of getting her series of children’s books published. She and her chaperone, Miss Wiggin, visit the publishing house of the Warne brothers and they decide to publish her book. Beatrix is thrilled and returns home, not without taking a drive through the parks to celebrate first. However it is revealed that the Warne brothers think Miss Potter’s book is ridiculous and will no doubt be a failure. The only reason they agreed to publish her story is because they promised their youngest brother, Norman, a project and have therefore dumped him on Miss Potter.
When Norman Warne arrives, Beatrix makes decisions about her finished book, regarding book size, the colour and the price. Norman admits he has never done anything like this before but has given her book a great deal of thought. Beatrix realises what the Warne brothers have done regarding her and Norman but they become determined to prove them wrong. Norman takes Beatrix to the printer, and she has her drawings reproduced and copies of her book sold. Thrilled, Beatrix and Norman visit the Warne family, where Beatrix meets the wheelchair-bound but lovely Mrs. Warne, and Norman’s sister, Amelia, nicknamed “Millie”. Millie has decided that she and Beatrix are going to be friends and is overjoyed that Beatrix is a spinster, as is Millie, who believes men to be nothing but bores. The family and Beatrix become friends straight away, yet Helen Potter, Beatrix’s social-climbing mother, is unhappy about her daughter spending time in the company of tradesmen.
