The Tale of Mrs Tittlemouse

Resumen del libro

It's beesn 110 years since Frederick Warne published Beatrix Potter's very first book, "The Tale of Peter Rabbit", and in celebration, we are delighted to be publishing special editions of her entire body of work. Unlike the traditional little white books, these editions have delightful colourful covers and specially designed endpapers. And to make them extra special, we have included a publisher's note to tell you all about the history of how each book came to be.

Mrs. Tittlemouse is a terribly tidy little wood mouse. She is always sweeping her burrow, polishing and tidying.

It is an endless job and it seems that no sooner has she made a good start than another messy visitor appears and leaves their muddy footprints everywhere. Beatrix Potter had in her youth made beautiful microscopic studies of insects, and this knowledge enabled her to produce delightful pictures of the many uninvited guests, from spiders to bees, found in Mrs. Tittlemouse's underground home.

"The Tale of Mrs. Tittlemouse" is number 11 in Beatrix Potter's series of 23 little books.
