The character of Mrs. Tittlemouse was introduced in the 1909 book The Tale of the Flopsy Bunnies. In her own story, Mrs. Tittlemouse is revealed to be a very tidy wood mouse. Her determination to keep her house clean is put to the test by some untidy uninvited guests. The Tale of Mrs. Tittlemouse has been translated into many languages. The story was adapted in combination with The Tale of the Flopsy Bunnies as the second episode of the animated BBC television series The World of Peter Rabbit and Friends. The episode first aired in the United Kingdom on June 24, 1992.
