The Tale Of Mrs. Tiggy-Winkle

Mrs. Tiggy-winkle is a hedgehog washerwoman who lives in a tiny cottage in the fells of the Lake District. A child named Lucie happens upon the cottage and stays for tea. The two deliver freshly laundered clothing to the animals and birds in the neighbourhood.

Once upon a time there was a little girl called Lucie, who lived at a farm called Little-town. She was a good little girl—only she was always losing her pocket-handkerchiefs! One day little Lucie came into the farm-yard crying—oh, she did cry so! "I've lost my pocket-handkin! Three handkins and a pinny! Have you seen them, Tabby Kitten?" The Kitten went on washing her white paws; so Lucie asked a speckled hen— "Sally Henny-penny, have you found three pocket-handkins?" But the speckled hen ran into a barn, clucking— "I go barefoot, barefoot, barefoot!"

Really love the books by Beatrix Potter and have really enjoyed reading them with my children and grandchildren. Recommended.

Kids who've grown up learning to blow their noses in disposable tissues just won't get this book. It's tragic.
