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. Beatrix
Potter had in her youth made beautiful microscopic studies of insects,
and this knowledge enabled her to produce delightful pictures of the
many uninvited guests, from spiders to bees, found in Mrs. Tittlemouse's
underground home. The Tale of Mrs. Tittlemouse is number eleven in
