The Tale of Ginger & Pickles: The original and authorized edition

Once upon a time there was a village shop. The name over the window was "Ginger and Pickles."

Ginger and Pickles (a terrier and a ginger cat) keep a very popular shop. They have ever so many customers, even more than Mrs Tabitha Twitchet). They like getting so many people coming into the shop but they have a small problem, their customers aren’t paying for anything at all.

When Ginger and Pickles find themselves having to eat their own shop provisions and having visits from the police then they realise they might have to re-think their business plan.

One of the world’s greatest children’s writers and illustrators, Beatrix Potter created some of the most recognisable characters in English literature, including [Peter Rabbit](/book/the-tale-of-peter-rabbit/beatrix-potter/9780723247708), [Jemima Puddle-Duck](/book/the-tale-of-jemima-puddle-duck/beatrix-potter/beatrix-potter/9780723247784) and [Benjamin Bunny](/book/the-tale-of-benjamin-bunny/beatrix-potter/beatrix-potter/9780723247739).
