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, & meets Mrs Tiggy-winkle who does all the washing & ironing for the neighboring animals. Lucie spends a lovely day helping her, & it's only right at the end of the day that she realizes Mrs Tiggy-winkle is a hedgehog! Beatrix Potter spent a solitary childhood with long holidays in the country. She loved to sketch animals & later invented stories about them. in 1902, Potter published The Tale of Peter Rabbit, which launched her career as a children's author. More than 20 other books for young audiences soon followed. Potter's tales of Peter Rabbit, Jemima Puddle-Duck, Benjamin Bunny & others have become children's classics.
