Description

Mrs. Tittlemouse keeps a tidy wood-mouse house in a bank under a hedge, with sandy passages and nut-cellars among the roots. Beetles, a bee, and Mr. Jackson the toad drip mud and ask for honey until she turns them out and scrubs. House-pride wins: she spring-cleans and gives a party without the messy guest. Potter's short tale of manners in a hedge.

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.
