Her letters and journals reveal attempts to escape from what she called her \"unloved birthplace\" and her overbearing parents. Potter felt that her life culminated in her forties, when she was, in effect, reborn through marriage as Mrs. William Heelis, a farmer raising Herdwick sheep and buying land for the National Trust.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e From her first book, \u003ci\u003eThe Tale of Peter Rabbit\u003c\/i\u003e, through some of the last, such as \u003ci\u003eThe Fairy Caravan\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe Tale of Little Pig Robinson\u003c\/i\u003e, central characters undergo processes of initiation during which they mature toward adulthood. The most successful ones move from being helpless children to more mature creatures on their way to independence, while others experience no change or even regression.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Richard Tuerk\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1476680620\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781476680620\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e McFarland \u0026amp; Company\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/21\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 217\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.65lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.70h x 5.90w x 0.80d","brand":"Richard Tuerk","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43941506154751,"sku":"9781476680620","price":45.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_108e494b-ba1e-443c-8905-940134926779.jpg?v=1681453310","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/rebirth-in-the-life-and-richard-tuerk-9781476680620","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
