When Beatrix Potter wrote to the four-year-old son of her old governess, she drew a rabbit on the page. It was just a doodle.
The child had been ill and needed cheering up. She could not know that this sketch in 1893 would change her own life for ever.
That bunny would become known around the world as Peter Rabbit, bringing its creator fame and fortune.
