Description

Johnny Town-mouse was born in a cupboard; Timmy Willie was born in a garden and goes to town by mistake in a vegetable hamper. City cats and noise wreck Timmy's sleep; when Johnny visits the country he hates rain and the mower. Each returns to the life he was born to. Potter's tale of town manners and country nerves.

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.
