Summary

Tells the story of Timmy Tiptoes, who ends up deep inside the trunk of a dead tree, with no means of getting out. Luckily, the chipmunk who lives there was friendly and kind to him. Before long, a strong wind blows the top off the dead tree trunk, but poor Timmy can't get himself out on account of eating many nuts and being a little bit too round.

The Tale of Timmy Tiptoes Summary

The Tale of Timmy Tiptoes by Beatrix Potter

It's been 110 years since Frederick Warne published Beatrix Potter's very first book, The Tale of Peter Rabbit, and in celebration, we are delighted to be publishing special editions of her entire body of work. Unlike the traditional little white books, these editions have delightful colourful covers and specially designed endpapers. And to make them extra special, we have included a publisher's note to tell you all about the history of how each book came to be. After a terrible misunderstanding, poor Timmy Tiptoes ends up deep inside the trunk of a dead tree, with no means of getting out. Luckily, the chipmunk who lives there was very friendly and kind to Timmy. Before long, a strong wind blows the top off the dead tree trunk, but poor Timmy can't get himself out on account of eating far too many nuts and being a little bit too round! Beatrix wrote this story to appeal directly to her American fans and featured animals of American origin (grey squirrels, chipmunks and a black bear) all living happily in the Lake District woods! The Tale of Timmy Tiptoes is number 12 in Beatrix Potter's series of 23 little books.
