Description

This is a tale about a tail: Nutkin the red squirrel, with Twinkleberry and cousins in a wood by a lake, crosses to Owl Island with offerings for Old Brown. Riddles and cheek go too far; the owl catches him, and he escapes leaving the tail behind. Potter's story of nerve, mockery, and a price paid in fur.

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.
