Beatrix Potter was born in South Kensington, London in 1866. She had little opportunity to mix with other children. Even Potter's younger brother, Bertram, was rarely at home; he was sent to boarding school, leaving Beatrix alone with her pet animals. She had frogs and newts and even a pet bat. She also had two rabbits -- the first was Benjamin, whom she described as "an impudent, cheeky little thing", while the second was Peter, whom she took everywhere with her, even on the occasional outings, on a little lead.
Potter would watch these animals for hours on end, sketching them. Gradually the sketches became better and better and are included in this
video.
This is the story of three little kittens who get into mischief. Their mother (Tabitha Twitchit) grooms and dresses them up for company she is having, then sends them out with the admonishment that they not get dirty. They not only get dirty but lose their clothes to some passing ducks. When they return, she hides them upstairs and tells her company that they
are ill.
