The Tale of Ginger and Pickles

rdfs:comment

The two title characters are a cat and a dog who run a general store. They offer their customers unlimited credit. As a result, they have a lot of customers but no money because none of their customers ever pay their bills. Some characters from Potter's earlier children's books are referred to by name in The Tale of Ginger and Pickles. Several others, including Peter Rabbit, Benjamin Bunny, Mr. Jeremy Fisher, Jemima Puddle-Duck and Mrs. Tiggy-Winkle, appear in the illustrations.

The two title characters are a cat and a dog who run a general store. They offer their customers unlimited credit. As a result, they have a lot of customers but no money because none of their customers ever pay their bills. Some characters from Potter's earlier children's books are referred to by name in The Tale of Ginger and Pickles. Several others, including Peter Rabbit, Benjamin Bunny, Mr. Jeremy Fisher, Jemima Puddle-Duck and Mrs. Tiggy-Winkle, appear in the illustrations. The story was partially inspired by a village shop in Sawrey, Cumbria, near to Beatrix Potter's home. The shop was owned by a former blacksmith named John Taylor who had to spend three years in bed due to illness. John Taylor had long wanted to pose as a model for one of Potter's illustrations but his illness made that impossible. Taylor jokingly commented that the amount of time that he had spent in bed meant that he could pass for a sleepy dormouse. The Tale of Ginger and Pickles is dedicated to John Taylor and he appears in the story in a fictionalized form as John Dormouse. John Taylor died before the book was published. A play based on The Tale of Ginger and Pickles was co-written by Beatrix Potter and E. Harcourt Williams in 1931. A fifteen-minute British radio play based on The Tale of Ginger and Pickles first aired on BBC Radio 4 on December 27, 2013 as part of the mini-series The Tales of Beatrix Potter.
