The Tale of Mrs. Tittlemouse
From The Tale of Mrs. Tittlemouse by Beatrix Potter
The Tale of Mrs. Tittlemouse was written by Beatrix Potter and first published in 1910. Potter wrote and illustrated many beloved animal stories set in the English countryside. This text reflects its era; a few period terms have been modernised. The story shows children the satisfaction of taking care of a home, the importance of setting boundaries, and the value of hospitality—even when guests are a bit trying.
