About The Story of Miss Moppet in brief
The Story of Miss Moppet is a tale about teasing, featuring a kitten and a mouse. It was written and illustrated by Beatrix Potter, and published by Frederick Warne & Co for the 1906 Christmas season. 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 MissMoppet, which booksellers disliked. The story was reprinted in 1916 in small book format. It has been published in a Braille version, translated into seven languages, and was released in an electronic format in 2005. First editions in the original format are available through antiquarian bookseller. The character of MissMoppy was released as a porcelain figurine in 1954 and a plush toy in 1973. The tale is considered one of Potter’s lesser efforts, but is valued as an introduction to books in general, and to the world of Peter Rabbit. The Tale of Mr Fisher, The Story of a Fierce Old Bad Rabbit and The Cat Catcher’s Tale were all written by Potter in the early 1900s and published between 1903 and 1906. The Story Of Mr Fisher was published in 1903 and 1904, with illustrations by George Cruikshank, and the Cat Catchers were published in 1904 and 1905, with drawings by George Taylor, and later published in 1907. The Catcher’s Tale was published by William Morrow & Co in 1908, and The Tale Of A Bad Bad Rabbit was published the following year.
The stories were written by Harry Potter and his wife Helen Potter and published in 1910 and 1911. The tales were written for a younger audience, and were intended to have the style of the Alphabet’s Comic Book, as explained as explained by Cruiank’s Comic Alphabet. The cat and the mouse are the main characters in the stories. The book has been translated into Braille, English, French, Spanish, German, Italian, Spanish and Portuguese. It is available in hardback and softback, and is available as a ceramic figurine and plush toy as well as an electronic version of the book in 2005, and a wooden figurine of the cat and mouse in 1973, and as a wooden toy of the mouse and kitten in 1954, and again in 1973 and 1974. The original story was written in 1893 by Potter and was published as a dummy book for a child in 1893, fashioning it into a size similar to the size and style of Helen Bannerman’s The story of Little Black Sambo. In 1900, Potter revised a tale that she had written for an older child and published it privately. She hoped to lead a useful life independent of her parents, and tentatively considered a career in mycology, but the all-male scientific community regarded her as nothing more than an amateur and she abandoned fungi. She continued to paint and draw, and experienced her first professional artistic success in 1890 when she sold six illustrations of her pet rabbit.
