Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"The Tale of Timmy Tiptoes" by Beatrix Potter is a children's book published in October 1911. When squirrel Timmy Tiptoes is wrongly accused of stealing nuts, his fellow squirrels imprison him in a hollow tree. There he meets Chippy Hackee, a mischievous chipmunk who has fled his troubled marriage. As Chippy encourages Timmy to eat the stored nuts, an unexpected consequence threatens the imprisoned squirrel's escape. The story contrasts two very different marriages while exploring themes of mistaken identity and friendship.
