Description:Did you know that Beatrix Potter, in 1881, at the tender age of fifteen, invented her own secret cipher-coded alphabet and that she used it to write an ‘almost lost’ Journal until she was thirty years old? This was before she became the world-famous author and illustrator of The Tale of Peter Rabbit and a mycological expert, farmer, and major donor to the National Trust. It took a forgotten Essex businessman five years to break the code, then eight more to translate and publish over two hundred thousand words of her thoughts, observations, and recollections. His name was Leslie Linder – owner of an international shipping and engineering company, skilled designer of aerial masts for Marconi, literary celebrity, Beatrix Potter scholar and donor of the world’s largest collection of her art, writing, and memorabilia.
