Product Information

He sat outside in the sun, and said—”Tiddly, widdly, widdly! Your very good health, Mrs. Tittlemouse!” Good-day, Babbitty Bumble; I should be glad to buy some beeswax. But what are you doing down here? Why do you always come in at a window, and say Zizz, Bizz, Bizzz?” Mrs. Tittlemouse began to get cross. In this article we'll learn all about the 2018 Mrs Tittlemouse 50p coin issued by the Royal Mint to commemorate this amazing book by Beatrix Potter – but is this coin rare and how much is this coin worth today? I am not in the habit of letting lodgings; this is an intrusion!” said Mrs. Tittlemouse. “I will have them turned out—”“Buzz! Buzz! Buzzz!”—”I wonder who would help me?”“Bizz, Wizz, Wizzz!” She fetched soft soap, and flannel, and a new scrubbing brush from the storeroom. But she was too tired to do any more. First she fell asleep in her chair, and then she went to bed.

Originally produced by Potter as a book with a leather cover, The Tale of Mrs. Tittlemouse was given as a New Year's gift to Nellie Warne, the young daughter of Potter's Publisher, Harold Warne. Zizz, Wizz, Wizzz!” replied Babbitty Bumble in a peevish squeak. She sidled down a passage, and disappeared into a storeroom which had been used for acorns. The Tale of Mrs. Tittlemouse is number eleven in Beatrix Potter's series of 23 little books, the titles of which are as follows: Mrs. Tittlemouse followed him with a dish-cloth, to wipe his large wet footmarks off the parlour floor. SUCH a funny house! There were yards and yards of sandy passages, leading to storerooms and nut-cellars and seed-cellars, all amongst the roots of the hedge.

Mrs Tittlemouse is a terribly tidy little wood mouse. She is always sweeping her burrow, polishing and tidying. It is an endless job and it seems that no sooner has she made a good start than another messy visitor appears to leave their muddy footprints everywhere. Due to the coins' enormous popularity, the Royal Mint decided to continue the series in 2017 with a new coin set that included Benjamin Bunny, Tom Kitten, Mr. Jeremy Fisher, and Peter Rabbit once more. This version is presented in a colourful style which makes it very suitable for screen viewing or projector use in classrooms. A compilation made by Kiwi Opa, especially for Free Kids Books.

Thank you, thank you, thank you, Mrs. Tittlemouse! Now what I really— really should like—would be a little dish of honey!” Such a funny house! There were yards and yards of sandy passages, leading to store-rooms and nut cellars and seed cellars, all amongst the roots of the hedge. The story chronicles the hardships of the wood mouse Mrs. Tittlemouse, who tries to keep her home tidy. She turns away unwanted visitors: beetles, a ladybird, and a large spider seeking shelter from the rain. Along one of her passageways she runs into Babbitty Bumble, a bumblebee, and in a storeroom she comes across a nest of four more bees, whom she is unable to remove.Born into a wealthy household, Potter was educated by governesses and grew up isolated from other children. She had numerous pets, and through holidays in Scotland and the Lake District, developed a love of landscape, flora, and fauna, all of which she closely observed and painted. Because she was a woman, her parents discouraged intellectual development, but her study and paintings of fungi led her to be widely respected in the field of mycology. Shuh, shuh! Out of here right now and take your dirty feet with you!’ she cried, with a clatter of her dust-pan, when she found a lost beetle. This is part of the third series of Beatrix Potter 50ps, following the highly popular 2016 and 2017 releases that coin collectors loved.
