I’ve been to Beatrix Potter’s house and it is as charming as her books. The country around it looks just like the illustrations of her books and the house from “A Tale of Two Bad Mice” is in her playroom. She is a character in one of the books of the 7 (soon to be 8) books of the Seven Sisters series by Lucinda Riley. If you haven’t read these books I strongly urge you to. The 8th will be published next year, sadly written by her son to her directions since she passed away after completing the 7th.

    Let me know what you think. I loved it. Each book is really well narrated in Audible–I believe with a different narrator for each one since each sister is a different nationality.

And, thanks for reblogging my Day of the Dead story, Andrea. I think I’ve published one every year since then and this year three family members are coming from the States to help me clear away and decorate the graves. My family, not the family of the departed.
