Lovely vintage children's book.

'The Story of Timothy Twitter' by Margaret Alleyne, with illustrations by Mary B Robinson

Seventh reprint - 1966.

Published by Frederick Warne & Co (the same publishing house as Beatrix Potter, and you can tell there is a similar style with pretty vignette watercolours and pen and ink line drawings.)

It tells the tale of a little mouse called Timothy who has a falling out with his wife Hetty over breakfast. Things go from bad to worse as he storms out of the house in a mood, meets a stranger, unwittingly acquires some stolen apples, and ends up arrested by the local policeman Mr Flattimouse. 

Nice condition and complete with dusk jacket - it almost feels like a new book (apart from little corner cut from inside dust jacket flap - assume an old price was removed, although there is a little 40p NET sticker present). A really lovely little book!
