Burgess and Betsy Bray, an international authority on Beatrix Potter, will discuss well-known differences and fascinating little-known similarities between the two esteemed 20^th century children’s authors.  First published in 1902 and 1910 respectively, Potter and Burgess’ children’s books were a near-instant success in the dawning years of children’s literature and have continued to be popular into the 21^st century.
