The story of Timmy and Goody Tiptoes is the only Beatrix Potter story apparently set in North America - although this is implicit rather than stated anywhere in the book. All the main animal characters are indigenous to North America: grey squirrels, chipmunks and a 'large bear', but the waters are muddied somewhat by the presence of Yellowhammers (or Emberiza citrinella, the birds that sing 'Little bita bread and-no-cheese!') whose range includes Europe and much of Asia but not America.

First edition, first or second printing, with date to title; 16mo (160 x 110 mm); colour frontispiece, plain title vignette and 26 colour plates, pictorial endpapers, second quire split at two blanks but still firm, otherwise near-fine; publisher's brown boards with mounted colour illustration, a hint of rubbing to extremities, otherwise also, near-fine.

Linder p.429; Quinby 20.
