Book Description
Beatrix Potter described The Tailor of Gloucester as her own favourite among her books. It was based on the true story of a tailor who once left the unsewn pieces of a coat in his shop and then found that the garment had been mysteriously finished for him in the night. Although it turned out the real tailor’s assistants were his apprentices, in Beatrix Potter’s version of the story the secret helpers are skilful little brown mice who save the kindhearted tailor from disaster.
Tells the story of a poor tailor trying to survive in his freezing workshop over a hard winter. He has an important commission to complete for a wedding on Christmas Day but is ill and tired, and before long is running out of food and thread, as well as time! How will he possibly complete the beautiful coat and embroidered waistcoat?
