Synopsis Author
Once upon a time there was an old cat, called Mrs. Tabitha Twitchit, who was an anxious parent. She used to lose her kittens continually, and whenever they were lost they were always in mischief!
Of the three little kittens, the naughtiest of all is Tom but when he finds himself in the attic, he gets more mischief than he bargained for.
The first farm that Beatrix Potter owned, Hill Top, was an old house with thick walls and many hiding places for rats and mice. In The Tale of Samuel Whiskers this farmhouse is Tom Kitten's home and the story tells what happens when Tom accidentally comes upon the rat Samuel Whiskers living in a secret hideout behind the attic walls. A careless kitten might find himself being rolled into a tasty roly-poly pudding!
One of the world’s greatest children’s writers and illustrators, Beatrix Potter created some of the most recognisable characters in English literature, including Peter Rabbit, Jemima Puddle-Duck and Benjamin Bunny. 
Today Beatrix Potter's original twenty-three tales are still published by Frederick Warne, alongside a wide range of other formats including baby books, sound books, christening gifts and more. These original editions bring the world of Beatrix Potter to life just as readers have enjoyed them for generations. The Tale of Samuel Whiskers, the thirteenth book to be published, is number sixteen in this series of charming stories.

“The perfect bedtime treat”

There are 23 books in the Beatrix Potter collection and most children are only ever given the first few. I recommend buying the best ones first, which for me would include the story of Samuel Whiskers. A scary story... More
