谁和碧雅翠絲·波特约会过？

海倫·碧雅翠絲·米奇（又譯比阿特丽克斯·波特，英語：Helen Beatrix Potter，1866年7月28日—1943年12月22日），英國作家、插畫家、自然科學家與保育運動人士。她以描述動物的童書作品著名，如《彼得兔的故事》等相關著作。

波特生於一個上流社會家庭當中，由女家庭教師進行教導，因此她與其他同期小孩之間較為疏遠。她養了許多寵物，並且在假日花時間到蘇格蘭與湖區，發展對景觀、植物與動物的熱愛；這一切她都會密切觀察與進行繪畫。

身為女性，波特在當時並沒有太多機會能接觸高等教育，但她對於真菌的研究與水彩畫，仍然得到真菌學領域的廣泛尊崇。在30多歲時，波特出版了《彼得兔的故事》，一舉成名；至此，她開始全職為童書撰稿與繪圖。

1905年，靠著出版童書的收入以及姑媽的遺產，她在靠近湖區的一個稱為近薩維里的小村莊，買下了丘頂農場，此時此處仍處於蘭開夏郡轄下。在接下來數十年間，波特買下了許多農場，以保護當地獨特的丘陵鄉村景觀。1913年，也就是波特47歲之際，她與賀德威克當地的著名律師威廉·海利斯（William Heelis）結婚。波特曾因培育出賀德威克羊而得獎，也是一位致力於保護環境的熱心農人。她此時仍持續寫作與繪畫，並為英國出版商沃恩（Warne）設計基於波特童書作品而來的相關產品，直到因地產管理的責任加重與視力減弱，才無以為繼。

波特共出版了30本書籍，其中最為知名的是24本兒童故事書。1943年12月22日，波特於近薩維里的家中去世，享壽77歲，絕大多數遺產皆由國家名勝古蹟信託管理。目前湖區國家公園內的大多數土地，都歸功於她的保護。波特的著作仍持續在全球各地銷售，翻譯成多種語言，並製作成歌曲、電影、芭蕾舞與動畫；她的生平也被製作成電影與電視影集。

Norman Dalziel Warne (6 July 1868 – 25 August 1905) was the third son of publisher Frederick Warne, and joined his father's firm Frederick Warne & Co as an editor. In 1900, the company rejected Beatrix Potter's The Tale of Peter Rabbit, but eventually reconsidered and in October 1902, published the book to great success. Norman Warne became Potter's editor and they worked together on several subsequent books and related merchandise, such as soft toys and The Game of Peter Rabbit.

In 1904, Potter and Warne worked closely together to develop a tale about two mice and a doll's house. Potter began spending more time at the firm's offices and took several trips to Warne's home to sketch a doll's house he was constructing for his nieces. In July 1905 Warne proposed. Potter accepted, but on 25 August 1905, before a marriage could take place, Warne died suddenly of pernicious anaemia Potter remained in touch with Warne's sister Millie for many years, and his brothers Harold and Fruing became her editors. The relationship between Potter and Warne became the basis for the film Miss Potter (2006). In 2012, a decision to erect a plaque at Warne's former home in Bedford Square honouring his memory was turned down by English Heritage, presumably because of the lack of funding on English Heritage's part, as they have the funding to erect only twelve to fifteen plaques a year. A further attempt was also turned down in 2024.
