The Tale of Samuel Whiskers is number 16 in Beatrix Potter's series of 23 little books, the titles of which are as follows: Whatever the mental trauma, the irony is that this was the only Beatrix Potter that did not physically injure me. I had all the books in a little bookcase designed specifically for them, like this: Anna Maria went down by way of the skirting-board and a window shutter to the kitchen to steal the dough. A tailor is making a coat for the Mayor of Gloucester. He is nearly finished except for some cherry coloured silk. Some mice finish the coat in the night. This house is also infested with rats. Functionally, these rats are the ghosts which haunt the big house — I’m thinking of a film such as The Others. You sort of know they’re there, but you only hear them scuttling. There’s a veneer between the two worlds.Voldermort’s slithering, murderous snake is “at least twelve feet long”, with an “ugly triangular head”– but her real power lies inside, in the form of one last deadly secret for Harry to uncover. She is a classic fantasy creation that plays not only on our primal fear of snakes but their many mythical and supernatural associations. 9. The Terrible Dog Fish from Pinocchio by Carlo Collodi The usual role of cats hunting/eating rats is reversed though as when Tom Kitten wanders off up the chimney and through some narrow passages, he ends up in the rats' lair and is captured by them. The rats do not hesitate at the opportunity and immediately start making roly poly pudding from him and intend to bake him alive!

Anna Maria,” said the old man rat (whose name was Samuel Whiskers),—”Anna Maria, make me a kitten dumpling roly-poly pudding for my dinner.”But his mouth was full of soot and cob- webs, and he was tied up in such very tight knots, he could not make anybody hear him. A simple version of the classic tale from Hans Christian Andersen, two friends fight good and evil in an epic battle. The two cats ran to look at the dough pan. Sure enough there were marks of little scratching fingers, and a lump of dough was gone!
