WATCH: Dawn French talks all things her new book Because Of You It s remarkable really, it s about the very real day, the true happening when Roald Dahl aged six, met the real 60 year old Beatrix Potter.
He had a tough old time Roald when he was younger, his father died and his sister died. And he asked his mother if he could go and visit Peter Rabbit, so she took him to Beatrix Potter s garden, and I m sure Beatrix was a grumpy old thing who had many children running into her garden, and I m sure she was fed up of it .
