There’s the time when she finds herself on top of a lit bonfire, alarmed and astride a fizzing firework. But don’t be fooled by the cheery domesticity, Mrs Pepperpot’s shrinking episodes are invariably exciting and perilous. Her days are spent busily cleaning the house and baking. Mrs Pepperpot lives in a valley in Norway. This edition of her classic adventures is the ideal bedtime companion for the 5-8 year olds in your life. Old ladies don’t usually wake up in the morning to find themselves shrunk to the size of a pepper pot but that’s exactly what happens to our eponymous heroine, shrinking at the most inconvenient moments, and becoming embroiled in various hijinks and escapades along the way. Almost 50 years after the death of her creator, Mrs Pepperpot continues to beam out from the bookshelves of every decent bookshop. ![]()
