 Tom Kitten June 25, 2008
This TY beanie baby is based on the character Tom Kitten, created by English author, illustrator, botanist and conservationist {Helen} Beatrix Potter.
Beatrix wrote around 23 children's books and Peter Rabbit was based on her second pet rabbit of the same name.
Normally, each TY beanie baby has their own birthday and poem that rhymes, but Tom Kitten and 5 other Beatrix Potter characters - Jemima, Mr Tod {fox}, Peter Rabbit, Pigling Bland and Mr Jeremy Fisher {Frog} were created as a special set, with each of the beanies heart shaped tags telling you about the origins of that character.
This beanies tag reads -
THE TALE OF TOM KITTEN,
FIRST PUBLISHED = 1907.
The story of Tom Kitten and his sisters takes place in Hill Top, the first farm Beatrix Potter bought in the Lake District.
Tom Kitten is surface washable and stands at 18cm/7 inches from head to toe.
My favourite Beatrix Potter quote = "I remember I used to half believe and wholly play with fairies when I was a child. What heaven can be more real than to retain the spirit-world of childhood, tempered and balanced by knowledge and common-sense."
Utterly fabulous!
