Near Fine. \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile British children’s book author and illustrator Beatrix Potter (1866–1943) came from a family of substantial means, her love of the natural world and country living meant that when it came to her own kitchen, the food was simple and homey, never fussy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis 1981 cookbook brings together Potter’s children’s book illustrations, her botanical illustrations, and her letters to friends and family (where her drawings and stories first came alive) in support of contemporaneous recipes, which the author might have enjoyed at her farmhouse in northwest England.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere’s porridge, bread soup, fisherman’s pie, cornish pasties, and apple tansy; roast suckling pig for more festive affairs; even a squirrel stew for adventurous types. Despite the packaging, recipes for blackberry wine, mead, and other spirits suggest the book is better suited for adults who grew up with Potter than for the youngsters among us who are discovering her for the first time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNear Fine with minor wear.
