The Tale of Squirrel Nutkin
Book • 1903
The story follows Nutkin, a red squirrel, and his family as they gather nuts on Owl Island, which is owned by an owl named Old Brown.
Each day, the squirrels offer gifts to Old Brown in exchange for permission to gather nuts, but Nutkin's impertinence and riddles eventually annoy Old Brown.
After several days of this behavior, Old Brown captures Nutkin, but the squirrel manages to escape, though he loses most of his tail.
The tale is illustrated with Beatrix Potter's characteristic charm and captures the autumn season in the Lake District.
