Summary
Manuscript of The Tale of Mrs Tittlemouse, a black-covered exercise book. The text is written in ink, and is divided into one short paragraph per page, the facing pages left blank for illustrations. There are 7 rough pencil drawings on separate loose sheets of paper. The original manuscript of this story was given to Nellie Warne as a New Year present in January 1910. According to Leslie Linder, this is a later manuscript. It must in that case date from early 1910, as the book was published in July 1910.
