    Synopsis:
    This biopic follows Beatrix Potter`s rise to being the most successful children`s author of all time. Despite delighting generations of children with her books, she kept her own story locked carefully away. The film reveals how she developed her artistic and story-telling abilities from a young age and rebelled against the conventions of the time by refusing to marry for the sake of it. Her first book, The Tale of Peter Rabbit, was a publishing phenomenon and led to a captivating romance with her publisher Norman Warne.

    Struggling to forge her own identity against 19th-century expectations and her mother`s increasing pressure to make a proper marriage for herself, Beatrix Potter (Renee Zellweger) manages to find a publisher for her children`s story "The Tale of Peter Rabbit." Her success soon leads to a romance with editor Norman Warne (Ewan McGregor) that takes surprising turns. This lively biopic of the beloved author also stars Emily Watson and Bill Paterson.
