Description

Ginger and Pickles keep a village shop whose counter suits rabbits: spotty handkerchiefs, sugar, snuff, and galoshes, mostly on credit. The cat and terrier cannot collect what is owed, and the kindly shop fails while Tabitha Twitchit's trade waits nearby. Beatrix Potter's tale of commerce among the animals, and what happens when kindness outruns the till.

Author

Beatrix Potter (1866–1943) gave the world Peter Rabbit, then spent a lifetime proving she was more than a nursery name. A Victorian girl who drew what she saw — animals, plants, the texture of a garden wall — she made books in which every cabbage and jacket button earns its place. Later she became Mrs Heelis of the Lakes, a sheep farmer and a fierce guardian of countryside.
