The Tale of Mrs Tiggy-winkle was first published in 1905, and is as
charming today as it was then. It tells the tale of a hidden home high
in the hills. It is discovered one day by a little girl called Lucie,
who is in search of her missing pocket handkerchiefs. She knocks on
the tiny door, and meets Mrs Tiggy-winkle who does all the washing and
ironing for the neighbouring animals. Lucie spends a lovely day
helping her, and it's only right at the end of the day that she
realises Mrs Tiggy-winkle is a hedgehog!

Written and illustrated by Beatrix Potter (1866-1943). Her passion
for the natural world lay behind the creation of her famous little
books. A particular source of inspiration was the Lake District where
she lived for the last thirty years of her life as a farmer and
conservationist.
