Entered at Stationers' Hall. Jane was the Cook; but she never did any cooking, because the dinner had been bought ready-made, in a box full of shavings. There was no one in the nursery, and it was very quiet. Presently there was a little scuffling, scratching noise in a corner near the fireplace, where there was a hole under the skirting-board. Tom Thumb and Hunca Munca went The Tale of Two Bad Mice across the hearthrug. They pushed the front door—it was The Tale of Two Bad Mice fast. Then they squeaked with joy! Such a lovely dinner was laid out upon the table! There were tin spoons, and lead knives and forks, and two dolly-chairs—all so convenient! It was a beautiful shiny yellow, streaked with red. Then Tom Thumb lost his temper. He put the ham in the middle of the floor, and hit it with the tongs and with the shovel—bang, The Tale of Two Bad Mice, smash, smash! They broke up the pudding, the lobsters, the pears and the oranges. As the fish would not come off the plate, they put it into the red-hot crinkly paper fire in the kitchen; but it would not burn either. She found some tiny canisters upon the dresser, labelled—Rice—Coffee—Sago—but when she turned them upside down, there was nothing inside except red and blue beads. He took Jane's clothes out of the chest of drawers in her bedroom, and he threw them out of the top floor window. But Hunca Munca had a frugal mind. After pulling half the feathers out of Lucinda's bolster, she remembered that she herself was in want of a feather bed. It was difficult to squeeze the bolster into the mouse-hole; but they managed it somehow. The book-case and the bird-cage refused to go into the mouse-hole. The mice rushed back to their hole, and the dolls came into the nursery. Lucinda sat upon the upset kitchen stove and stared; and Jane leant against the kitchen dresser and smiled—but neither of them made any remark. He found a crooked sixpence under the hearthrug; and upon Christmas Eve, he and Hunca Munca stuffed it into one of the stockings of Lucinda and Jane.

My kid's grandma bought us a 12 book set of the original Beatrix Potter books. I'll be reviewing them at random and out of order! I thought I'd start on a high point. This is maybe the best of the bunch and has aged fairly well compared to the other books. No children get The Tale of Two Bad Mice by their parents or lose their parents to the farmer or anything awful like that. The two mice are fun and their adventure has an ok twist to it. One of them has the forgettable name Tom Thumb but the other mouse is named My kid's grandma bought us a 12 book set of the original Beatrix Potter books. One of them has the forgettable name Tom Thumb but the other mouse is named Hunca Munca and she steals the show. Potter still sneaks in some stifling values and really old school gender stuff. But the mice end up happy and the illustrations are great. So I guess if you're itching to read some classic animal stuff to your kids, this one is a solid enough pick. View 1 comment.

How much shall we pay you? And you don't ask in respect or friendship. And you don't think to call me Bunfather; instead you come to my house on the day my 14 daughters are to be married and you ask me to get rid of these two bad mice But if you come to me with your friendship, your loyalty, then your enemies become my enemies, and then, believe me, they would fear you From me you'll get Justice.

Christmastime is a time when we all think back on our lives for the past year. What did bring us? What is it that we remember as we reflect? Good times, bad times, scary times, happy times.

We laugh when we think back to times we did stupid things or embarrassing thi So I may be overdosing a bit on nostalgia tonight, but I'm feeling oddly sentimental and wanted to share my thoughts. We laugh when we think back to times we did stupid things or embarrassing things, or jokes we've made. I've always loved the holiday season. A chill in the air, lights illuminating downtowns, The Tale of Two Bad Mice gorgeous trees strung up with ornaments and tinsel and The Tale of Two Bad Mice lights. Windows lit up for passing carolers. Shoppers trying to find that one perfect gift. People being abnormally friendly to one another. It's the spirit of the holiday season I look forward to every year more than the day itself. This year is a little different. Three people who were present at my holiday table last year are no longer with us. My friend Eric passed last February. My grandmother passed in March, and my uncle passed The Tale of Two Bad Mice May. All three were relatively unexpected. Never in a million years would I have guessed that last Christmas would be the last holiday I would spend with any of them. But I'm a tough broad. I knew this holiday season would be a little rougher than most but I knew The Tale of Two Bad Mice could handle it.

  • THE BEATRIX POTTER COLLECTION Tracks
    Helen Beatrix Potter was born on 28 July, 1866 to a comfortable upper middle- class British family. She grew up isolated from other children. She rarely saw her brother, who was sent to boarding school, while Beatrix was educated at home, by governesses. Although she was quite shy, she was a very creative girl, encouraged by her parents and governesses who taught her to paint and draw. In 1902, at the age of 36, Beatrix Potter published The Tale of Peter Rabbit , and became secretly engaged to her publisher, Norman Warne. This caused a breach with her parents, who disapproved of her marrying someone they believed was of lower social status. Warne died before the wedding could take place. The success of her children's books allowed her to become financially independent of her parents. She purchased a farm, Hill Top, near Sawry in England's Lake District. Over time, she extended her land holdings. Beatrix Potter died on 22 December 1943. ______________________________ ______________________________ THE BEATRIX POTTER Tracks COLLECTION Shorter tales for younger listeners Longer tales for older listeners The Tale of Peter Rabbit a01 The Tailor of Gloucester c01a – c The Tale of Two Bad Mice a02 The Tale of Samuel Whiskers or c02a – c The Roly-Poly Pudding The Tale of Mr Jeremy Fisher a03 The Story of a Fierce Bad Rabbit a04 The Tale of Pigling Bland c03a – d The Story of Miss Moppett a05 The Tale of Mr Tod c04a – e The Tale of Tom Kitten a06 Total running time: 4 hours The Tale of Benjamin Bunny a07 The Tale of the Flopsy Bunnies a08 Apply Dappley’s Nursery Rhymes a09 Cecily Parsley’s Nursery Rhymes a10 The Tale of Squirrel Nutkin b01 The Tale of Mrs Tiggy-Winkle b02 www.sodyaudio.com The Tale of Jemima Puddle-Duck b03 Ginger and Pickles b04 The Tale of Mrs Tittlemouse b05 Narrated and produced by Shane Sody The Tale of Timmy Tiptoes b06 Recordings 2009 Shane Sody The Tale of Johnny Town-Mouse b07 (Sody Audio Books) The Pie and the Patty-Pan b08a & b .

    Studi sulla Formazione: 23, 289-299, 2020-1 DOI: 10.13128/ssf-11232 | ISSN 2036-6981 (online) Beatrix Potter’s Contribution to Children’s Literature between Reality and Narrative Representation CHIARA LEPRI Associata di Storia della pedagogia – Università di Roma Tre Corresponding author: [email protected] Abstract. The paper intends to deepen the artistic and authorial contribution of the British illustrator Beatrix Potter not only to works, poetics and stylistic elements, but also, in paral- lel, to the existential level since, over the years and in the socio-cultural context in which she lived, she embodied a model of an independent woman, able to emerge from the con- flict between social norms and aspirations and to become an emblem of a culture of resist- ance and otherness that finds its natural and happy expression and continuation in the wide and varied sphere of children’s literature. Therefore, in conclusion, the key elements are enu- cleated, which are open and can be deepened, aimed at underlining, in the author’s human and literary testimony, the character of originality and the innovative scope of the work. Keywords. Beatrix Potter - Children’s literature - Illustration - Female emancipation 1. The Woman and the Cultural Context Alison Lurie, one of the best-known scholars of children’s literature on the interna- tional scene, writes that in the early Twentieth century “a woman escaped from prison with the help of a rabbit. It was not a modern prison, with facilities for education and rec- reation and a chance for parole, but a tall, dark, stuffy Victorian house; and the prisoner, who had been confined there for most of her thirty-six years, was under sentence for life”1.

  • Beatrix Potter
    Beatrix Potter Potter was born into a wealthy London family who lived in Bolton Gardens, Kesington. They were very controlling and restrictive. Horrified of their humble class origins in trade, the Potters did not let Beatrix socialize. She was educated at home, studying books, music and watercolour painting. She was a gifted watercolour painter and felt attracted to nature and animals. During her holidays in the Scottish country side and the Lake District she sketched flowers, mushrooms and rabbits, and later in her life when she became a farmer, cows, pigs and sheep. She kept two rabbits as her pets, Peter Piper and Benjamin Bounce. Her interests were more scientific than artistic at the beginning, she had a theory about fungi, but the science world was close to women at that time and had to content herself with illustrating works of natural history. During her youth (1866-1897), she tried to make a living for herself and gain independence from her family by illustrating books and making commercial cards. The Tale of Peter Rabbit, her first work, was rejected by many publishers, so she had it printed privately. A first edition appeared in 1901 and sold so well that she paid for another edition only two months later. One of the publishers who had rejected her offered then to do the book if she would do the illustrations in watercolour instead of black and white. Her career as a children’s author was launched. Peter Rabbit was followed by some sequels featuring Peter –Tale of Benjamin Bunny, Tale of Mr Tod, and Tale of the Flopsy Bunnies−, and was the first in a series of twenty-three Peter Rabbit books including The Tailor of Gloucester, The Tale of Two Bad Mice, The Tale of Jemima Puddle-Duck, The Tale of Samuel Whiskers, The Tale of Johny Town- Mouse, Appley Dapply’s Nursery Rhymes, or Cecily Parsley Nursery Rhymes.

Signed Name of student: Sofie Vriends Student number: 4116178 Vriends 3 Abstract Beatrix Potter is voornamelijk bekend om haar verhalen over het ondeugende konijn Peter Rabbit en zijn vrienden. Daarnaast heeft Potter veel geschreven over fungi. Er is echter nog niet veel onderzoek gedaan naar hoe zij zichzelf neerzette als een schrijfster. Er zijn genoeg biografieën over haar te vinden en collecties van door haar geschreven brieven gepubliceerd. In deze scriptie is onderzocht hoe Beatrix Potter zichzelf als auteur presenteert. De focus ligt hier op drie verschillende onderdelen: haar gedrag als auteur in het literaire veld, de persoon die naar voren komt in haar brieven en de schrijfster die spreekt in haar kinderverhalen. De theorie die in deze scriptie zowel als ordeningsmodel als analysemodel is gebruikt, is de theorie van Jérôme Meizoz. Hij noemt de houding en presentatie van de auteur het postuur en legt uit dat het postuur bepaald wordt door zowel de auteur als het publiek. Deze scriptie belicht echter één kant van dit verhaal: hoe Beatrix Potter haar postuur heeft geconstrueerd.
