Theresa quite likes Beatrix Potter's stories these days. In her personal library she has a good-sized volume containing several of these, the most famous of which is, of course, "The Tale of Peter Rabit." Right now her favourites are "The Tale of Mrs Tiggy-Winkle" and "The Tale of Squirrel Nutkin."
Old Mr. Brown and Squirrel Nutkin
I wrote last year about the weak plotlines in Miss Potter's stories, but I think I'm changing my mind about these. After a while they grow on you. Perhaps I have been influenced by the bright-eyed face of a certain five-year-old who loves to have her daddy read them to her.
