Edited by Jane Crowell Morse (from the dust jacket) "MOST WELCOME!" Beatrix Potter Heelis wrote to an American children's book editor in 1930. "I always tell nice Americans to send other nice Americans along. Perhaps 'understanding Americans' would be a better adjective than 'nice." You come because you understand the books. . not from any impertinent curiosity.' After her marriage to William Heelis in 1913, Beatrix Potter lived in the Lake District where she devoted herself to raising sheep and helping to conserve land for the National Trust. She did not want to be bothered by celebrity seekers, curious only to meet the author-illustrator of favorite childhood books, until a 1921 visit by Anne Carroll Moore, a well-known children's librarian, convinced her of the sincere American interest in her work.
