Mrs Tiggy-Winkle


The Tale of Mrs. Tiggy-Winkle is a children's book written and illustrated by Beatrix Potter. It was published by Frederick Warne  & Co. in October 1905. Mrs. Tiggy-Winkle is a hedgehog washerwoman who lives in a tiny cottage in the fells of the Lake District. A child named Lucie happens upon the cottage and stays for tea. The two deliver freshly laundered clothing to the animals and birds in the neighbourhood.


This is a charming Wedgwood ceramic child's mug that was purchased for my son in the 80's.  It features hand painted scenes of Mrs. Tiggy-Winkle, Lucie and sayings.
