Synopsis

One day Hunca Munca and Tom Thumb, two young mice who live in a children's nursery, decide to explore the beautiful doll's house made of red brick, with real muslin curtains in the windows. After the dolls are taken for their walk by the girl who owns them, the mice sneak up the stairs into the doll's dining room. What should they find but a sumptuous feast of lobster, ham, fish, pudding, pears and oranges! But to their dismay, they discover the food is made of plaster and paint--not good to eat at all. In a huff, the disappointed mice make some mischief of their own, and by the time the dolls return, their house has been turned upside down.

From the Back Cover

Then those mice set to work to do all the mischief they could-especially Tom Thumb! He took Jane's clothes out of the chest of drawers in her bedroom, and he threw them out of the top floor window. The classic tale of naughty Tom Thumb and Hunca Munca has delighted children for more than 85 years--as only a Beatrix Potter story can. Now, with all the original text in a fully illustrated Worthington Press edition, Tom Thumb springs to life again for a whole new generation of readers.
