Description
Waking up one morning to find you've shrunk to the size of a tiny pepperpot isn't an ordinary, everyday event for most people. But when Mrs Pepperpot is around, little things can turn into great big adventures, such as getting stuck in a draw full of macaroni.Tags

An kind and witty old lady randomly shrinks to the size of a pepperpot and back again. There are adventures.
Meh. Not sure that this one has aged very well.

Miniatures always appeal, whether they're dolls, or Toy Story characters, or [b:The Borrowers|816395|The Borrowers (The Borrowers #1)|Mary Norton|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1442761247l/816395._SX50_.jpg|802336], or [b:Ralph S Mouse|2387315|Ralph S Mouse|Beverly Cleary|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1378648677l/2387315._SX50_.jpg|21983016]. This is not my first Mrs. P. boo, but apparently it is the first in the series. The first half of this collection is episodes in her adventures, the second half of the book is other stories by the author, and charming they are.
