The Tale of Two Bad Mice

Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

It's been 110 years since Frederick Warne published Beatrix Potter's very first book, The Tale of Peter Rabbit , and in celebration, we are delighted to be publishing special editions of her entire body of work . Unlike the traditional little white books, these editions have delightful colourful covers and specially designed endpapers. And to make them extra special, we have included a publisher's note to tell you all about the history of how each book came to be.

When two naughty little mice discover the door to the beautiful dolls' house ajar, they just have to tiptoe inside and have a look. The temptation to try the delicious looking food in the dining room proves too great however, and chaos ensues when they discover that it will not come off the plates!

Excerpt provided by Syndetics

Once upon a time there was a very beautiful doll's-house; it was red brick with white windows, and it had real muslin curtains and a front door and a chimney. It belonged to two Dolls called Lucinda and Jane, at least it belonged to Lucinda, but she never ordered meals.

Horn Book Review

Originally published in 1904, Potter's tale of two mice ransacking a dollhouse contains crisp new reproductions of her watercolors and the delightful original text that celebrates naughtiness. The book has gilt-edged pages and has been bound in dark green cloth and slipcovered for this 'deluxe edition.' From HORN BOOK 1997, (c) Copyright 2010.
