The Tale of Mrs. Tiggy-Winkle
First published in 1905.
Many of Beatrix Potter's books were based on the numerous pets she had
kept during her life. Although she did, at one time, have a pet hedgehog
named Mrs Tiggy-Winkle, the character in the book is based on an old
washerwoman in the village of Sawrey, Mrs Kitty MacDonald. The young girl
in the story, Lucy, was Lucy Carr, the daughter of the vicar of Newlands
which is a valley between Derwentwater and Buttermere.
Narrated by Vivian Leigh.
Story dramatized with full cast, music and songs.
