Many of us grew up reading about Peter Rabbit and Mrs Tiggywinkle, but how much do you know about the woman behind the stories?
In this episode we explore the lesser-known sides of Beatrix Potter. Discover how her love of natural science, fascination with fungi and knack for sheep farming formed the author we know and love.

Experience the remarkable world of Beatrix Potter for yourself at the Drawn to Nature exhibition at the V&A Museum in partnership with the National Trust, on display until 8 January 2023.
