A mischievous squirrel tests a dangerous neighbour's patience
Vintage Good Condition - Covers are rubbed and soiled with minor edge wear and toned pages. An owner's name is on the front endpaper. Dated 1987.
Squirrel Nutkin joins the other squirrels as they travel to an island to gather nuts. The others approach Old Brown, the owl who lives there, with suitable offerings and respect, but Nutkin prefers riddles, teasing and restless play. His refusal to take the situation seriously becomes increasingly risky as the visits continue. Beatrix Potter gives the small woodland adventure a sharp edge, turning a character's lively mischief into a story about boundaries and consequences. Her illustrations bring the island, trees and animal visitors into a memorable setting. The Tale of Squirrel Nutkin combines the pleasure of an energetic personality with the warning that not every creature will tolerate being repeatedly provoked.
