When Miss Kitty sneaks out to go hunting in her beautiful boots she gets herself into all sorts of scrapes, but on this particular night she meets the foxiest hunter of them all—Mr. Tod! This utterly entertaining tale is filled with mistaken identities, devious villains, and even an appearance from Peter Rabbit.
Notes
This book, written in 1941 but never illustrated, introduces the charming Kitty-in-Boots. It was published to coincide wiht the 150th birthday of Beatrix Potter. My book also includes a CD of the story, narrated by actress Helen Mirren.

{I do not care for the illustrations by Quentin Blake.}
