After careers as a mother, a college professor, and a university administratory, Susan went on to become the best-selling author of many books for young people and mysteries for adults. "I love working with the life of Beatrix Potter," Susan says. "She was a remarkable woman who patiently worked against adversity to create exactly the kind of life she wanted for herself. A gifted storyteller and artist, a determined countrywoman who helped to preserve the natural beauty of the Lake District for generations to come, Beatrix Potter is a woman we can all admire." The Cottage Tales of Beatrix Potter are Susan's special tribute to Miss Potter, whose delightful stories and charming pictures continue to bring joy to the young at heart. Susan Wittig Albert lives with her husband Bill on thirty-one acres in the Texas Hill Country near Austin, where they have cows, sheep, geese, dogs, and cats.

Susan fell in love with Beatrix Potter's books when she was a child and has never forgotten the joy of reading the stories and imagining the lives of the animals beyond Miss Potter's pictures.
