The Tale of Mrs. Tiggy-winkle

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 neighboring animals. Lucie spends a lovely day helping her, and it's only right at the end of the day that she realizes Mrs Tiggy-winkle is a hedgehog!

The Tale of Mrs Tiggy-winkle is number six in Beatrix Potter's series of 23 little books.
