Nope! I've never read/seen Harry Potter (I, too, live under a rock). Beatrix Potter is the English author from the late 1800s who wrote The Tale of Peter Rabbit and The Tale of Squirrel Nutkin, among others. When I was a kid I had a set of her books, and her illustrations (which she herself painted in watercolors) had the whimsical quality that your cross-stitch has. ๐ฆ๐งก
Aww, thanks for sharing that, that's lovely. I've read the Tale of Peter Rabbit when I was a kid, too, but back then, I wouldn't have remembered any authors, just the stories. ๐
