Miss Potter

Miss Beatrix Potter. Her story books are the best seller children's book of all time. Though I have to say Harry Potter might be catching up soon. The movie was okay but I expected something more special. I suppose it was based on her life story.

But she is one of the richest woman of all time during that era. She managed to buy about 4000 acres of land in Lake District and she gave it to the National Trust. This legacy helped to ensure that the beauty of the Lake District and the practice of fell farming remain uspoiled to this day. Damn powerful man. :P
