My Dear Noel

Jane Johnson

This was my big find at the library today... it is the true story of a letter Beatrix Potter wrote to a sick little boy. The letter eventually turned into the tale of Peter Rabbit. The story is touching, and the pictures are wonderful- very turn of the century and remind me a lot of the Allen Ahlberg and his wife.

A note at the back tells how the little boy Noel grows up to be a priest helping children in London's slums

Beatrix Potter, Noel Moore, polio, family, Peter Rabbit, sickness, letters

Thank you for the recommendation. I placed the book on hold at the library.
