Beatrix Potter's favorite book that she wrote was "The Tale of Pigling Bland." She cherished this story about a young pig's adventures and misadventures more than her other works.
The animal Beatrix Potter wrote about that shares a first name with a Russian composer is Peter Rabbit and Peter Tchaikovsky.
<p>Upon her death, the royalties from Beatrix Potter's books went first to her husband, Willie Heelis, then upon his death to her publisher Frederick Warne & Co.. In 1983 the publishing company was acquired by Penguin Books, and I'm assuming her royalties were part of that acquisition. It's rather sad that she didn't bequeath the royalties to the National Trust like she did her properties, but I suppose she felt a certain indebtedness to her publishing company of some 40 years.<p>
Are you refering to Bertram Potter, the brother of author Beatrix Potter? If so I'm pretty sure his first name was Walter not William. I know that Bertram was born in 1872 and died in 1918 at the age of 46. He married a wine merchants daughter and was an artist. He was 6 years younger than Beatrix and was 46 when he died whereas Beatrix lived much longer in 1943. He died of disese.
Beatrix Potter's first farm was called Hill Top Farm. She purchased the farm with the proceeds from her popular children's books, such as "The Tale of Peter Rabbit."
