" The Tale of Mrs. Tiggy-Winkle" was first published in 1905 & is as charming today as it was then. It tells the tale of a hidden home high in the hills. It is discovered one day by a little girl called Lucie who is in search of her missing pocket handkerchiefs. She knocks on the tiny door & meets Mrs. Tiggy-winkle who does all the washing & ironing for the neighbouring animals. Lucie spends a lovely day helping her & it's only right at the end of the day that she realises Mrs. Tiggy-winkle is a hedgehog! " The Tale of Mrs. Tiggy-Winkle" is number six in Beatrix Potter's series of 23 little books." ...

It is an endless job & it seems that no sooner has she made a good start than another messy visitor appears to leave their muddy footprints everywhere.

The Tale of Peter Rabbit" is the original classic by Beatrix Potter. " The Tale of Peter Rabbit" was first published by Frederick Warne in 1902 & endures as Beatrix Potter's most popular & well-loved tale. It tells the story of a very mischievous rabbit & the trouble he encounters in Mr Mc Gregor's vegetable garden! Re-originated in 2002 to mark the centenary of publication bringing it closer to the original edition six illustrations were restored four that were removed in 1903 to make room for endpapers & two that have never been used before Beatrix having initially prepared more illustrations than could be accommodated in the original format. Beatrix Potter is regarded as one of the world's best-loved children's authors of all time. From her first book " The Tale of Peter Rabbit" published by Frederick Warne in 1902 she went on to create a series of stories based around animal characters including " Mrs. Tiggy-winkle" " Benjamin Bunny" " Jemima Puddle-duck" " Mr. Jeremy Fisher" & " Tom Kitten". Her humorous lively tales & beautiful illustrations have become a natural part of childhood. With revenue from the sales of her books Beatrix Potter bought a farm
- Hill Top
- in the English Lake District where she later became a farmer & prize-winning sheep breeder. She launched the now vast merchandise programme by patenting the very first Peter Rabbit doll in 1903. The product range continues to grow today with licences around the world including baby clothing & bedding nursery decor products & collectables. Upon her death Beatrix Potter left 14 farms & over 4000 acres of Lake District farmland to the National Trust so that the place that she loved would remain undeveloped & protected for future generations to enjoy. Today Beatrix Potter's original 23 tales are still published by Frederick Warne alongside a wide range of other formats including baby books activity books & gift & sound books. " The Tale of Peter Rabbit" is number one in Beatrix Potter's series of 23 little books. Look out for the rest!
