The Tale of Mrs. Tittlemouse (Beatrix Potter Originals)

Product Information

One day, Mrs Tittlemouse needed cherry stones and some seeds for dinner. The storeroom was a long way from her kitchen, but as she set off along the passage way, she noticed a strange smell. Mrs. Tittlemouse went on her way to a distant storeroom, to fetch cherry-stones and thistle-down seed for dinner. She fetched soft soap, and flannel, and a new scrubbing brush from the storeroom. But she was too tired to do any more. First she fell asleep in her chair, and then she went to bed. This original, authorised version has been lovingly recreated electronically for the first time, with reproductions of Potter's unmistakeable artwork optimised for use on colour devices such as the iPad. The image on the reverse shows a wide-eyed Mrs Tittlemouse rabbit, dressed in her familiar outfit and carrying a basket with her dinner.

Fly away home to your children!". She then bumps into a spider who asks her: "Beg pardon, is this not Miss Muffet's?", a reference to the nursery rhyme Little Miss Muffet.Emma Noble had worked at the Royal Mint for 20 years before she was chosen to design the Beatrix Potter series of coins.

Another Peter Rabbit coin, Mrs. Tittlemouse, The Tailor of Gloucester, and Flopsy Bunny were the ones that came after them in 2018. When he had convinced himself that there was no honey in the cupboards, he began to walk down the passage. I am not in the habit of letting lodgings; this is an intrusion!” said Mrs. Tittlemouse. “I will have them turned out—”

Mrs. Tittlemouse followed him with a dish-cloth, to wipe his large wet footmarks off the parlour floor. MRS. TITTLEMOUSE was a most terribly tidy particular little mouse, always sweeping and dusting the soft sandy floors. Then he squeezed into the larder. Miss Butterfly was tasting the sugar; but she flew away out of the window. The character of Mrs Tittlemouse first appeared in Beatrix Potter's children's book The Tale of The Flopsy Bunnies, which was first published in July 1909. [1] 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.Such a funny house! There were yards and yards of sandy passages, leading to store-rooms and nut cellars and seed cellars, all amongst the roots of the hedge. Mrs Thomasina Tittlemouse, a wood-mouse, lived in a funny house with yards of sandy passages among the roots of a hedge. She had a kitchen, a parlour, a pantry, a larder and she slept in a little box bed in her bedroom.
