Over the following decades, she purchased additional farms to preserve the unique hill country landscape. With the proceeds from the books and a legacy from an aunt, in 1905 Potter bought Hill Top Farm in Near Sawrey, a village in the Lake District, which at that time was in Lancashire. Potter began writing and illustrating children's books full-time. In her thirties, Potter published the highly successful children's book, The Tale of Peter Rabbit. Though Potter was typical of women of her generation in having limited opportunities for higher education, her study and watercolors of fungi led to her being widely respected in the field of mycology. She had numerous pets and spent holidays in Scotland and the Lake District, developing a love of landscape, flora, and fauna, all of which she closely observed and painted.

Born into a privileged household, Potter was educated by governesses and grew up isolated from other children.

Jeremy and his friends were released as porcelain figurines, plush toys, and other merchandise.BEATRIX POTTERHelen Beatrix Potter (British English, North American English also 28 July 1866 - 22 December 1943) was an English writer, illustrator, natural scientist, and conservationist best known for her children's books featuring animals, such as those in The Tale of Peter Rabbit. After Potter's death in 1943, licences were issued to various firms to produce the Potter characters. Potter responded with a series of miniature letters on the theme as if from Jeremy and his pals. Following the tale's publication, a child fan wrote Potter suggesting Jeremy find a wife. Potter's tale pays homage to the leisurely summers her father and his companions passed sport fishing at rented country estates in Scotland. He swims for shore, decides he will not go fishing again, and hops home. He encounters all sorts of setbacks to his goal, and escapes a large trout who tries to swallow him. He plans to invite his friends for dinner if he catches more than five minnows. One rainy day he collects worms for fishing, and sets off across the pond on his lily-pad boat. Jeremy Fisher is a frog who lives in a 'slippy-sloppy' house at the edge of a pond. The tale reflects her love for the Lake District and her admiration for children's illustrator Randolph Caldecott. She revised it in 1906, and moved its setting from the River Tay to the English Lake District. Jeremy's origin lies in a letter she wrote to a child in 1893. It was published by Frederick Warne & Co. Jeremy Fisher is a children's book, written and illustrated by Beatrix Potter.
