Ann Troxell from the Beatrix Potter Society returns this holiday season to share The Tailor of Gloucester, one of her favorite books, This story was first published in 1903 and tells the tale of a poor tailor trying to survive in his freezing workshop over a hard winter. He has a terribly important commission to complete for the Mayor of Gloucester's wedding on Christmas Day but is ill and tired, and before long is running out of food and thread, as well as time! How will he possibly complete the beautiful coat and embroidered waistcoat? Luckily, there lives in the dresser, some very kind and very resourceful mice who set about helping the poor tailor with his work.

Children of all ages are welcome to join us for this wonderful holiday story time.
