The Tale of the Pie and the Patty Pan
The Tale of the Pie and the Patty Pan: Beatrix's Tales | Beatrix Potter
3 posts | 5 read | 2 to read
Once upon a time there was a Pussy-cat called Ribby, who invited a little dog called Duchess, to tea. "Come in good time, my dear Duchess," said Ribby's letter, "and we will have something so very nice. I am baking it in a pie-disha pie-dish with a pink rim. You never tasted anything so good! And you shall eat it all! I will eat muffins, my dear Duchess!" wrote Ribby.

I latched onto this book when I was a kid because it has an adorable dog in it. A few years back, I found this lovely edition in a now-defunct bookstore in Devonport and couldn't resist revisiting it.

I read this story to my son tonight. As expected from Miss Potter the illustrations are gorgeous.

Much to our amusement we had absolutely no idea what the story was about! And what on earth is a patty pan?

Even though I live in the UK this 21st century American is perplexed!

DivineDiana I believe a patty pan is a type of squash.🤔 7y
Libby1 It seems that it's something metal you bake INTO a pie, @DivineDiana ! Maybe it helps it to keep its shape? 🤔 7y
