The Pie and the Patty Pan

From The Tale of the Pie and the Patty Pan, by Beatrix Potter

Beatrix Potter published this story in 1905. It is one of her longer tales, about two friends and a misunderstanding at a tea party. The story shows what happens when Duchess worries too much and makes a mistake trying to fix something that was not really a problem. Potter loved cats and dogs and drew them with careful detail. This text reflects its era; a few period terms have been modernised.
