Wow. Just wow. Beatrix Potter is such a talented individual. Her life was far more than bunny books and silly stories about ducks. She was a serious student of nature, though none of her work could be taken seriously simply on the grounds that she was a woman. Looking at her mycology studies, she certainly gives us valuable specimen portraits, not to mention all of her animal studies.

The artwork was very beautiful. It was an interesting look at Beatrix not as an author but as a scientist and artist. At times it was very dry and dull, though. Also, I think it would have helped if I knew anything about fungi before reading this book. Overall, it was a neat change from the fantasy and manga I normally read.
