The woeful history of Tuppenny, the sparsely haired guinea pig who became the innocent victim of the restorative powers of ‘Quintessence of Abyssinian Artichokes’ was written by Beatrix Potter in 1903 when her creativeness was at its best.  Later it was recast as the opening chapter of The Fairy Caravan, but it is the original version which Marie Angel has illustrated here.  Published in the UK in 1985, in pristine condition with original dust jacket.  Perfect for the collector!
