The Tale of Mr Cockle and Mrs Tinkle by Botox Porter

Favourite Victorian authoress and celebrity spinster Botox Porter first published The Tale of Mr Cockle and Mrs Tinkle in 1887.  This much-loved tale was Selfridge's equivalent of a "bestseller" staying in the Favourite Books by Celebrity Victorian Spinsters Chart until 1943 when it was displaced by The Troublesome Two Do One To Adolf.  Newly re-illustrated and "updated" for a modern audience,  The Tale of Mr Cockle and Mrs TInkle is a must-have for the Christmas stocking!!
