Description

Little Lucie of Little-town keeps losing her pocket-handkerchiefs and a pinny, and her search leads over the hill to a curious washerwoman: Mrs. Tiggy-Winkle, a hedgehog in a print gown who takes in laundry for the animals of the fells. Starch, irons, and lost linen turn into a friendship on the slopes above the farm. A children's tale of kindness, laundry, and a prickly helper who knows every missing handkin.

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.
