Oh, I do hope this is good ...

There has been an appalling lack of period movies of late - my favorite genre - but this 
one, based on the life of Beatrix Potter, looks really cute! (The link takes you to the trailer.)
In my book, it has all the right elements - a British setting, Victorian flavor, a favorite author, tiny woodland creatures ...
(Now I know what I'm doing for my birthday!) ;)
And while we wait for opening day, here's a sweet website to explore with the children, and this book looks very interesting. It won't be published until January 9th, but my library system already has a copy on order!
From Publishers Weekly: "This lively volume also captures her energetic participation in Victorian-era natural history research and conservation."
Sounds like a lovely wintertime read ...
