Description
The Tale of Mrs Tiggy-Winkle is an original story by Beatrix Potter. First published in 1905, it remains as charming today as it was then. A little girl named Lucie discovers a hidden home high in the hills while searching for her missing pocket handkerchiefs. She meets Mrs Tiggy-winkle, who does all the washing and ironing for the neighbouring animals. Lucie spends a lovely day helping Mrs Tiggy-winkle, learning about her work and the animals she cares for. It isn't until the end of the day that Lucie realises Mrs Tiggy-winkle is a hedgehog. Beatrix Potter's stories have become a natural part of childhood, with their humorous and lively tales accompanied by beautiful illustrations. Beatrix Potter was a renowned children's author who also became a farmer and prize-winning sheep breeder. Her stories continue to be enjoyed today, and her legacy lives on through the National Trust, which she left 14 farms and over 4000 acres of Lake District farmland to.
