Beatrix Potter story written more than a century ago to be published

January 26, 2016 By achuka Leave a Comment

The tale will be published in September, which also marks the 150th anniversary of Beatrix Potter’s birth.
Veteran illustrator Quentin Blake, 83, known for his work on Roald Dahl’s classic children’s books, will bring the characters to life for the new story.
The illustrations for the other Potter books were drawn by the author herself. He said: ‘It seemed almost incredible when, early in 2015, I was sent the manuscript of a story by Beatrix Potter, one which had lain unpublished for a hundred years and which, with the exception of a single drawing, she had never illustrated.’
