The Story of Miss Moppet

Summary

This is the story of a charming little kitty named Moppet, who thinks she’s heard a mouse! This tale deals with Moppet, Tom Kitten’s sister, and it is a simple but endearing story for little children about the tricks a brazen mouse gets up to. Unwisely, he finds himself in a precarious situation, but before the story ends, all is made good. ‘The Story of Miss Moppet’ was first published as a panorama fold-out for the Christmas of 1906. However, that format resulted unpopular with bookstores due to its unwieldiness. It would later be published as a regular book to the delight of fans. The landscape that Peter Rabbit first introduced to us in 1902 is still today one of [120]Beatrix Potter’s most popular and well-loved worlds.
