Hunca Munca

No matter how many birthdays pass, most of us could imagine two very naughty little mice getting into a wonderful, old-fashioned doll house and having a great time wreaking havoc. Of course, at first their intentions were only to enjoy the feast laid out on the little dining room table. And the name Hunca Munca is perfect, sing-songy and catchy. I love the picture of Hunca Munca sitting in her chair dressed in one of Lucinda's lovely blue dresses, holding one of her babies beside a cradle filled with the rest of the baby mice. ... Yes, I've recently seen "Miss Potter", the movie about Beatrix Potter. It was really a nice movie, well done. And now I want to get an autobiography or biography of her as she was such an interesting person. Her sketches and water colors are wonderful. Her concern to preserve for all some beautiful acres in the Lake District in England was a great thing for those who can visit and enjoy it all too. (The movie said that she is the most popular children's author of all time.)
