I have very fond childhood memories of my mother reading The Tale of Peter Rabbit to me.  Beatrix Potter's lovely little stories were some of my favorite books as a child.  The adorable stories and delightful pictures captured my imagination in a way that other books did not.  And now I have the pleasure of sharing these beautiful tales with my own children.  Miss Potter's books are truly classic children's literature all children should have the opportunity to experience.

In light of my affection for Beatrix Potter's books and my fascination for the Victorian era, I looked forward to the chance to view the movie Miss Potter when it came out on DVD.  I was not disappointed.  It was as utterly delightful an experience as reading her books was when I was a child.  I enjoyed learning a bit more about Miss Potter herself, and the sweetness of the story is a rare thing in cinema today.  It was a truly lovely movie, one I am sure I will want to watch again soon (I might even have to buy this one!).
