The Story of Miss Moppet

Abstract

The Story of Miss Moppet (published in 1906) is a tale about teasing, featuring a kitten and a mouse, that was written and illustrated by Beatrix Potter. Potter was born in London in 1866, and between 1902 and 1905 published a series of small format children's books with Warne. In 1906, she experimented with an atypical panorama design for Miss Moppet, which booksellers disliked; the story was reprinted in 1916 in small book format. Miss Moppet, the story's eponymous main character, is a kitten teased by a mouse.
