Ginger & Pickles

This is another Beatrix Potter book. The original book was copyrighted in 1909. Illustrations are both in black-and-white and color, and the book is in story form.

The term “Ginger & Pickles” refers to a small shop frequented by various animals. It's sort of a very miniature grocery store with extras. Ginger is a cat, and Pickles is a dog.

They give credit, meaning people put their purchases on a tab. Unfortunately, it seems that the customers never pay their tab. The shop fails, of course. Another person opens a shop later.

I'm not sure what the point of the story is, if, indeed, it actually has a point. It's almost like a story about economics, really, more so than a story about particular animals.
