I have just finished watching the movie "Miss Potter."  I didn't know what to expect, for I am sorry to say I have had very little exposure to her books, a matter which I intend shortly to rectify.  As an author, I very much related to her excitement over her first publication.  I was quite amused at her initial insistance that her first book be published in black and white because "printing in color will cause the book to cost 4 times as much!"  (Well, some things haven't changed!)  However, I was more struck by her love of the land - and the fact that she used her resources to preserve the land against "the developers" - quite the villains at the end of the story. Anyone who knows me knows that I vehemently oppose the creeping development on Lake Jocassee.  Such unspoiled beauty should remain - well, unspoiled.

Watch the movie.  It's sweet and inspiring.
