Product Information

And indeed it did. The little mouse spent the next two weeks cleaning up all the mess that her unwanted visitors had left behind. She scrubbed down the storerooms, rubbed the furniture with beeswax and polished her tin spoons until they shone like new. She swept, and scrubbed, and dusted; and she rubbed up the furniture with bees-wax, and polished her little tin spoons. Once upon a time there was a wood-mouse, and her name was Mrs. Tittlemouse. She lived in a bank under a hedge.

SUCH a funny house! There were yards and yards of sandy passages, leading to storerooms and nut-cellars and seed-cellars, all amongst the roots of the hedge.

Success!

I smell a smell of honey; is it the cowslips outside, in the hedge? I am sure I can see the marks of little dirty feet.”

There were yards and yards of sandy passages, leading to storerooms and nut-cellars and seed-cellars, all amongst the roots of the hedge. The Tale of Mrs. Tittlemouse was originally produced by Potter in the form of a book with a leather cover. It was given to.Nellie Warne, the young daughter of Potter's Publisher, Harold Warne as a New Year's gift. [2] Adaptions [ edit ] Good-day, Babbitty Bumble; I should be glad to buy some beeswax. But what are you doing down here? Why do you always come in at a window, and say Zizz, Bizz, Bizzz?” Mrs. Tittlemouse began to get cross. Born into a wealthy household, Potter was educated by governesses and grew up isolated from other children. She had numerous pets, and through holidays in Scotland and the Lake District, developed a love of landscape, flora, and fauna, all of which she closely observed and painted. Because she was a woman, her parents discouraged intellectual development, but her study and paintings of fungi led her to be widely respected in the field of mycology.

Due to the coins' enormous popularity, the Royal Mint decided to continue the series in 2017 with a new coin set that included Benjamin Bunny, Tom Kitten, Mr. Jeremy Fisher, and Peter Rabbit once more. Additionally, the coin was also minted as a Brilliant Uncirculated variety in individual presentation folders as well as complete sets, in addition to silver proof versions. Thank you, thank you, thank you, Mrs. Tittlemouse! Now what I really— really should like—would be a little dish of honey!” Shuh, shuh! Out of here right now and take your dirty feet with you!’ she cried, with a clatter of her dust-pan, when she found a lost beetle.

These adorable little animals, while small in size, have strong personalities, charm, and flaws. They are perfect for littlies to start reading, or classics enthusiasts, or for those reminiscent of the childhood. Mrs Tittlemouse takes pride and joy in her housekeeping, but unexpected guests turn her home into a mess (She’s the Monica Gellar of Potter’s animal-world). The little mouse is courteous but firm when having to defend her home. Beatrix Potter makes her creatures have relatable human qualities, and the ability to teach young ones morals in a sweet and simple form.
