In this first of the Cottage Tales, animal lover and all-around Good Samaritan Beatrix Potter: author of Peter Rabbit, is ready to help solve local mysteries. And with her entourage of animal friends, she sets out to win over the human hearts of Sawrey. . .
England, 1905. A Londoner-a female Londoner-has just bought a farm in rural Sawrey. The locals don't know what to make of the Beatrix Potter. They've never heard of an unwed woman buying and running a farm. Some meet her with genuine warmth; others keep her at arm's length.
