The Tale of Mrs. Tiggy-Winkle

Little Lucie lives on a farm and is forever losing her pocket handkerchiefs. When several disappear at once, she follows a trail up the hillside, past a bubbling spring and tiny footprints, until she discovers a mysterious door tucked beneath a rock.

Inside is a snug kitchen where a small, prickly housekeeper is busy washing, starching, and ironing clothes for the creatures of the countryside. As Mrs. Tiggy-winkle proudly displays scarlet waistcoats, worn stockings, cat’s mittens, and other miniature garments, Lucie begins to recognize some of her own missing things. This gentle, richly illustrated tale invites listeners into a cozy world where animals have household chores, particular tastes, and laundry days of their own.
