The Tales of Beatrix Potter

Adaptations

In 1971, a ballet film was released, The Tales of Beatrix Potter, directed by Reginald Mills, set to music by John Lanchbery with choreography by Frederick Ashton, and performed in character costume by members of the Royal Ballet and the Royal Opera House orchestra.[106] The ballet of the same name has been performed by other dance companies around the world.[107]

In 1992, Potter's children's book The Tale of Benjamin Bunny was featured in the film Lorenzo's Oil.[108]

Potter is also featured in Susan Wittig Albert's series of light mysteries called The Cottage Tales of Beatrix Potter. The first of the eight-book series is Tale of Hill Top Farm (2004), which deals with Potter's life in the Lake District and the village of Near Sawrey between 1905 and 1913.[109]
