The Tale of Little Pig Robinson
- The Tale of Little Pig Robinson
"The Tale of Little Pig Robinson" is a children's book published by Beatrix Potter in 1930. Potter spent a holiday in Lyme Regis when she was seventeen, and used views of Lyme Regis, nearby Sidmouth, Ilfracombe, Hastings, Sussex, and Teignmouth Harbour to illustrate this book. Though her last published novel, it was one of the first written. [Egoff, Shelia. "Only Connect: Readings on Children's Literature". Oxford University Press, 1996]
The tale is the story of the pig from Edward Lear's famous poem "The Owl and the Pussycat". The Owl and the Pussycat sail to 'the land where the Bong tree grows' and 'there in a wood, a piggy wig stood, with a ring at the end of his nose'. Beatrix Potter's narrative tells the story of how the pig came to be there.
