The Tailor of Gloucester SOCK SET

"He unlocked the door of the little shop in Westgate Street… But there was no one there! Not even one little brown mouse!… But upon the table – oh joy! The tailor gave a shout - there, where he had left plain cuttings of silk – there lay a most beautifullest coat and embroidered satin waistcoat that ever were worn by a Mayor of Gloucester!"

The Tailor of Gloucester was Beatrix Potter's third book, published in 1903.  We will be highlighting each of her 23 books in the months ahead.
