The Tale of Two Bad Mice - Potter Series Traditional Cache

The Tale of Two Bad Mice (1904) is a children's book written & illustrated by Beatrix Potter & published by Frederick Warne & Co. Potter took inspiration from 2 mice caught in a cage & a dollhouse being built by her editor Norman Warne. During this time Potter & Warne got engaged which annoyed Potter's parents who were grooming their daughter to be a permanent housekeeper in their London home.

Plot:

The tale is about two mice who vandalize a dollhouse. After finding the food on the dining room table made of plaster, they smash the dishes, throw the doll clothing out the window, tear the bolster, and carry off a number of articles to their mouse-hole. When the little girl who owns the dollhouse discovers the destruction, she positions a policeman doll outside the front door to ward off any future depredation. The two mice atone for their crime spree by putting a crooked sixpence in the doll's stocking on Christmas Eve and sweeping the house every morning with a dust-pan and broom.
