I have always loved Beatrix Potter's children's tales, and the movie version of her life starring Renee Zellweger, "Miss Potter" was a true classic...moving in its character exploration, beautiful in its execution and depiction of the beauty of the Lake District, and truly inspiring. If you loved the movie or are simply a fan of all things Potter [Beatrix, not the wizard]...you'll love & treasure this guide to the movie. It is lushly illustrated with full-color pictures, and takes readers behind the scenes of the movie, with insights by the director, producer, scriptwriter, and Zellweger herself. I also plan to get 'Beatrix Potter: A Journal",and "At Home with Beatrix Potter: The Creator of Peter Rabbit" to add to my collection.

Somehow growing up I missed all the Beatrix Potter stories. I find them delightful now and am going to share them with my grandchildren. This book about the making of the movie makes me really want to see the movie. I enjoyed it thoroughly. I highly reccomend it.

but loved the book and can't wait to own my own copy of the DVD. I've been a big fan of Beatrix Potter ever since my daughters were born and I read her many books to them as children. Today I find myself reading these same stories to my grandchildren. I loved this book because it showed all that went into making the movie. I couldn't help but admire the actors and actresses who were fortunate enough to be a part of this wonderful film. If you admire Beatrix Potter you must add this book to your collection. I have along with the wonderful books written by Susan Wittig Albert.

This book is worth getting if you're a big fan of the movie but it's mostly about the stars and their experiences with the movie and filler material that's not what you would expect from the book's title. If you get the DVD, Miss Potter, with special features you will learn much more about the actual making of the movie and the information is very entertaining and interesting.

Such a sweet movie...everyone should have a copy of the DVD @ home! Love having the background info in this book and wonderful photos!

I love everything Beatrix Potter, so I had to have this companion book to the movie. It's really delightful and full of location shots and other movie lore. I've been to most of the locations, so it was fun to see how they made them fit the movie.
