British author and illustrator (1866–1943) whose Edwardian-era tales of naughty rabbits, ‘bad’ mice, and other amusingly mischievous animals take a place among the most enduring and beloved works in the annals of children’s literature. Her first and best-known book, The Tale of Peter Rabbit, has sold more than 40 million copies since it was first published in 1902. Christmas card, circa 1942, sent to Bertha Mahony Miller, measuring 3.5 x 4.75 closed, with a snowfall scene on the front. Inside of card bears a pre-printed sentiment and a quote from Leith Gordon. Signed at the bottom, “W. & Beatrix Heelis. It is pleasant to think of friends in a sad time—we are well, but old & tired.” In fine condition. Miller was the founder of the Bookshop for Boys and Girls in Boston and the Horn Book magazine. She was an important figure in the fight for children’s books to be taken more seriously, and a close friend of Potter’s, and a champion of her books. Provenance: Christie’s (as part of a group lot).
