| - The plot concerns a young girl named Lucie who has a habit of losing her pocket handkerchiefs. Lucie goes out in search of three handkerchiefs and a pinafore which she has lost. She follows a path up a hill which leads to the home of a little washerwoman named Mrs. Tiggy-Winkle. Lucie finds her handkerchiefs and pinafore there, Mrs. Tiggy-Winkle having washed them. Mrs. Tiggy-Winkle also shows Lucie items of laundry which belong to various different animals. It is only at the end of the story when Lucie realizes that Mrs. Tiggy-Winkle is a hedgehog. Beatrix Potter had a pet hedgehog named Mrs. Tiggy-winkle and used the animal as a model for the book's illustrations. The character of Mrs. Tiggy-Winkle is based on a real person named Kitty MacDonald, a washerwoman whom Beatrix Potter's family employed for eleven summers when they vacationed in the Scottish Highlands. Beatrix Potter describes Kitty MacDonald as being a small, round, suntanned woman with small, dark eyes who wore several petticoats and a white cap. The character of Lucie is based on a girl named Lucie Carr, one of the two daughters of the local vicar, whom Beatrix Potter met when she was on vacation in Cumbria in 1901. On one occasion, Lucie Carr left her gloves behind after taking tea at the country house where Beatrix Potter was staying, thus giving Potter the idea of Lucie losing her handkerchiefs. The book is dedicated to Lucie Carr. A braille edition of The Tale of Mrs. Tiggy-Winkle was first published in 1921. A French translation, the first of several translations of The Tale of Mrs. Tiggy-Winkle into other languages, was first published in 1922. A Welsh translation was published in 1932. An edition of the book in the Initial Teaching Alphabet was published in 1965. The Tale of Mrs. Tiggy-Winkle has been adapted for film and television. The character of Mrs. Tiggy-Winkle also features prominently in Beatrix Potter's The Tale of Kitty-in-Boots, which was written in 1914 but was not published until 2016. She appears in an illustration in Potter's 1909 children's book The Tale of Ginger and Pickles.
