About this product
Product Information
This work traces the concepts of initiation and rebirth though Beatrix Potter's personal writing and her children's fiction. Drawing from Potter's letters and journals, it analyses her attempts to escape from what she called her "unloved birthplace" and her overbearing parents to find a happy mature life. Potter felt that her life culminated in her forties, when she was, in effect, reborn through marriage as Mrs. William Heelis, a farmer raising Herdwick sheep and buying land for the National Trust. The language of transformation and rebirth used throughout her personal writing is echoed in Potter's fiction. From her first book, The Tale of Peter Rabbit , through some of the last, such as The Fairy Caravan and The Tale of Little Pig Robinson , central characters undergo processes of initiation during which they mature toward adulthood. The most successful ones move from being helpless children to being more mature creatures on their way to independence, while others experience no change or even a regressive change.

Reviews
"Tuerk's clear presentation of...ideas and his attention to both visual and verbal imagery in Potter's tales makes this book well worth reading."-- Children's Literature Association Quarterly ; "this book presents an original idea about Beatrix Potter that connects her in a new way to the great soup of stories. I highly recommend it for anyone who is interested in Beatrix Potter and her tales."-- Mythlore

As described... A+++ on shipping and price... C (and that's being generous) on time. If you have forever and a month of Sundays to wait around then by all means do so. The price was great and the seller communicated wonderfully and the item was packed well so it wasn't damaged during transit all A pluses in my book just took a little bit longer than I anticipated.
