Judith Helton brings historical characters to life. The Tale of Beatrix Potter illuminates the life of the author/illustrator who gave us “The Tale of Peter Rabbit.” Audio features Ms. Helton as Beatrix Potter interviewed during an English tea time, followed by Judith speaking as the actress rather than the character, telling us how she researches and creates her work. Lessons include steps to creating a “Picture Letter,” also called a rebus, life-study drawings and guidance on how to create an original story based on first-hand observations. Themes: Enduring Values, The Power of Nature.
