Beatrix Potter loves the warmth of Sawrey, her new
hometown. But even the kindest of souls can turn snappish
when houseguests overstay their welcome. When Beatrix
returns from time away, she finds the attic overrun with
rats. Rosabelle, resident rat and generous hostess, has
offered her family a place to stay. But when word gets
out, she soon has dozens of rat families on her tiny
hands. To get rid of them, Beatrix invites some cats over-
deeply offending Felicia Frummety, resident cat. Then a
mysterious outsider plans to ruin the pristine shoreline
of Lake Windermere by building a sprawl of villas. And
trouble has beset three village children, favorites of
Beatrix, who are counting on the help of the fairies of
Cuckoo Brow Wood. Now, with her signature tact, Beatrix
must work with her friends-human and animal-to set things
right.
