Author Biography:
Thornton W. Burgess (1874-1965) wrote thousands of animal stories for children, starting with the 1910 publication of Old Mother West Wind. Burgess' tales convey his fascination with wildlife and his concern for nature, teaching gentle lessons about ecology and respect for the environment.
Helen Beatrix Potter (1866-1943) was an English writer, illustrator, scientist, and conservationist best known for her children's books featuring animals. Written as a gift for the son of her former governess, The Tale of Peter Rabbit was published in 1901. Its success enabled her to commit to full-time writing and illustrating. Potter wrote about 30 books; the best known being her 24 children's tales. Margery Williams Bianco (1881-1944) was an English-American author of popular children's books. She became a professional writer at the age of nineteen, but didn't achieve lasting fame until forty-one, when she published her best-known work, The Velveteen Rabbit, in 1922.
