(Summary from Wikipedia adapted by Sinkronigo) The book was eventually republished in the standard small format of the Peter Rabbit series. Potter filled the tale with characters from her previous books. It was originally published in a large format which permitted Potter the opportunity to lavish great detail on the illustrations and also allowed her to include black-and-white vignettes. The book tells of two shopkeepers who extend unlimited credit to their customers and, as a result, are forced to go out of business. “The Tale of Ginger and Pickles” (originally, Ginger and Pickles) was first published in 1909. The tale contrasts the harmonious marriage of its titular character with the less than harmonious marriage of the chipmunk. He regains his freedom when a storm topples part of the tree. Chippy urges the prisoner to eat the nuts stored in the tree, and Timmy does so but grows so fat he cannot escape the tree. Timmy is tended by Chippy Hackee, a friendly, mischievous chipmunk who has run away from his wife and is camping-out in the tree. Timmy Tiptoes is a squirrel believed to be a nut-thief by his fellows, and imprisoned by them in a hollow tree with the expectation that he will confess under confinement. ”The Tale of Timmy Tiptoes” is a children's book written and illustrated by Beatrix Potter, and published in 1911.
