Transcription
Again, the face of Alice.
She bought property. She sought success so she would have independance.
She defied her parents.
She made her mark.
She teaches us so much.
She died of pnumonia and heart disease on 22 December 1943 at her home in Near Sawrey at the age of 77, leaving almost all her property to the National Trust. She is credited with preserving much of the land that now constitutes the Lake District National Park. Potter's books continue to sell throughout the world in many languages with her stories being retold in song, film, ballet, and animation, and her life depicted in a feature film and television film.
