Many favourite Beatrix Potter characters are seen doing their shopping in The Tale of Ginger and Pickles.

Unfortunately, she could only get to Sawrey for brief intervals, cramming in the odd day here and there whenever she could get away. Her parents were quite happy for her to make a wise investment in land and to indulge in what they saw as a hobby. They considered, however, that her life still had to centre around them and Bolton Gardens. Beatrix resented this but bore it as best she could.

She threw herself into yet more new books. The Tale of Mrs Tittlemouse, the story of a very clean, tidy little wood-mouse, was published in 1910. The Tale of Timmy Tiptoes, which deliberately included chipmunks and a black bear among its characters for the benefit of her American readers, was published in 1911.

Although Beatrix was delighted that her books were selling so well, her correspondence with Warne was less happy. After the death of Norman, Beatrix dealt mainly with his brother Harold with whom she enjoyed a reasonable working relationship. But in her letters to him there is sometimes a touch of acidity – she was not always happy with his suggestions and criticisms. The main source of friction, however, was money. The payments due to her were frequently erratic and Beatrix began to suspect that all was not well.

As she felt a considerable loyalty to the firm, she contented herself for the time being with expressing her disquiet in strong terms and in hoping for the best.
