Beatrix Potter authored the children's book "The Tale of Timmy Tiptoos" that had been initially published in 1911. She authored many stories of anthropomorphic animals in a pastoral environment - one is here. Timmy Tiptoes is the squirrel that directs the tale and gathers and stores nuts for the winter. The plot examines friendship, community and also the risks of miscommunication and false accusations in the story.

Red squirrel Timmy Tiptoes sets out with his wife Goody to collect nuts for the winter. They bury their collection in a hollow tree. A squirrel nearby starts to believe Timmy is taking his own nuts. Timmy enters his storage hollow and can not be released. Chippy Hackee, a chipmunk, has chose to hibernate in that area and is joined by him. Goody ultimately finds Timmy and clears his name. Chippy Hackee chooses to hibernate for another winter while Goody and Timmy resume their regular lives.
