‘I Prefer To Live In The Country’ is an Official Collector’s limited edition illustrative print by Beatrix Potter, she wrote and illustrated many books. Her constant companions were the pet animals she kept which she enjoyed sketching and studying. The first book was published in 1902 by Frederick Warne and Co.

Beatrix Potter was born in London in 1866 and grew up living the conventionally sheltered life of a Victorian girl in a well-to-do household. She was educated at home by a governess with her brother Bertram. Her constant companions were the pet animals she kept which she enjoyed studying and sketching. On summer holidays Beatrix delighted in exploring the countryside and learning about plants and animals from her own observations. Her career as a children’s illustrator and storyteller began when The Tale of Peter Rabbit was published by Frederick Warne and Co. in 1902.

The money she earned from her ‘little books’, as she called them, gave her financial independence and she began to purchase property in her beloved Lake District. In 1913 she married William Heelis, a Lakeland solicitor, and made Sawrey her permanent home. Writing and painting began to take second place to farming, sheep-breeding and buying stretches of the beautiful Lakeland countryside to ensure their conservation. When she died in 1943 she left over 4,000 acres of land and fifteen farms to the nation.
