The Tale of Castle Cottage

Beatrix Potter's tales have bewitched readers for a century. Now, fans of all ages cherish Susan Wittig Albert's Cottage Tales mysteries, starring Miss Potter herself…

Beatrix is eager to marry her fiancé, solicitor William Heelis.

And when Beatrix's brother decides to tell their parents about his own decade-long secret marriage, Miss Potter knows that any chance she had of finding her own happy ending is about to be destroyed…
