Description

While the dolls Lucinda and Jane are out for a drive, two mice sneak into a beautiful doll’s-house and discover the feast is plaster, the food is fake, and temper can wreck a nursery toy palace. Mischief, disappointment, and a furious tidy-up follow in their tiny footprints. Spoken as when two bad mice still ask what play teaches when the banquet will not feed them.

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.
