Book Excerpt:

She is also very sociable. ;)

She is also kind and generous.

Replete with lovely illustrations, Beatrix Potter brings the hedges and hedgerows to anthropomorphic life.

The name of Beatrix Potter is familiar and loved the world over. She is famous for her delightful children's books about woodland animals, who are, of course, little people in disguise, as they wear clothes and behave exactly as their human counterparts would. The Tale of Mrs Tiggy-Winkle is the six
