Petrick the rabbit, his cousin Venya the Eared, the squirrel Nut, the frog Yarema the Fisherman, the puddle duck Jemka... These and other characters from the fairy tales of Beatrix Potter (1866-1943), an English children's writer and painter, have long been favourite book characters of young British children and children around the world. The author's rare observation and rich imagination allowed her to create surprisingly well-stylised and touchingly humanised images of animals. Her little heroes do not always obey their elders, often get into various troubles - and yet they happily get out of them, sometimes go on journeys and undoubtedly become wiser - and some of them, moving from one tale to another, even grow up before our eyes and create their own families. The 23 books by Beatrix Potter published during her lifetime and translated into Ukrainian are a long-awaited first meeting of Ukrainian children with the works of the famous Englishwoman.
