Born into an upper-middle-class household, Potter was educated by governesses and grew up isolated from other children. She had numerous pets and spent holidays in Scotland and the Lake District, developing a love of landscape, flora, and fauna, all of which she closely observed and painted. Potter's study and watercolors of fungi led to her being widely respected in the field of mycology. In her 30s, Potter self-published the highly successful children's book The Tale of Peter Rabbit. Following this, Potter began writing and illustrating children's books full-time.

And if they do, what tricks will they play on the farmer?

Mission accomplished, they are trying to leave the garden when they meet a cat. They decide to hide in an upturned basket, which might have worked had not the cat decided to go to sleep on top of it.
