Mrs Tiggy-Winkle celebrates her 100th Birthday
Mrs Tiggy-Winkle celebrates her 100th Birthday this year in the most wonderful way, she has had a replica made by the great Steiff Company and will also be made by the very talented Mr R. John. Wright.
The Steiff version can be ordered through the Steiff Limited Editions Page, the R. John. Wright version can be ordered by Phone at this time, on 01531 635 290.
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 modeled using the finest materials, the happy little hedgehog embodies the charm of her inspiration and provides the perfect celebration for her 100th birthday.
