Limited
edition of 1,500 pieces
only available in the UK & Ireland
Although
many Beatrix Potter's tales were based on her own pets, she often gave them
human qualities too. The character of Mrs Tiggy-Winkle was inspired by Kitty
McDonald, an old Scottish washerwoman, "a comical, round little old
woman, as brown as a berry and wears a multitude of petticoats".
Ms Potter's tame hedgehog, Mrs Tiggy-Winkle, was a dear person, even though
she did bite when provoked! Exquisitely modelled using the finest materials, the happy
little hedgehog embodies the charm of her inspiration and provides the perfect
celebration for her 100th birthday.
Every single item of this limited edition features a white and consecutively
numbered ear tag fixed by a genuine and gold-plated "Button in Ear".
Not recommended
for children under 3 years - detachable small parts which could be swallowed.
