The Tale of Mrs. Tittlemouse



“The Tale of Mrs. Tittlemouse” is based on a children’s book written by Beatrix Potter in 1910. The tale is about housekeeping and insect pests in the home, and reflects Potter’s own sense of tidiness and her abhorrence of insect infestations.

The character of Mrs. Thomasina Tittlemouse debuted in 1909 in a small but crucial role in The Tale of The Flopsy Bunnies, and Potter decided to give her a tale of her own the following year.

25,000 copies of the tale were initially released in July 1910 and another 15,000 between November 1910 and November 1911 in Potter’s typical small book format.
