For English people Beatrix Potter (1866–1943) is as famous as L.Carroll and A.A.Milne. We hardly know her fairy tales: in spite of their simplicity, her wonderful stories about rabbits, mice, frogs, and squirrels are very difficult to translate – they are full of idioms, puns and lambent humour.

Graham Greene called Beatrix Potter "Children' Jane Austen" for deep understanding of the human nature, soft irony, ideal language and style.

The collection The Great Big Treasury of Beatrix Potter contains her best fairy tales that have been stealing a way to little readers' hearts for almost one hundred years already.
