The Tailor of Gloucester was Beatrix Potter's personal favourite among all her tales — a magical Christmas story set in the narrow streets of Georgian Gloucester, where a poor tailor falls ill before he can finish a magnificent waistcoat for the Mayor. By morning, his grateful mice have completed every stitch but one, leaving behind work of breathtaking delicacy. Based on a real event, it is Potter's most tender and beautifully illustrated story.
This gold-plated commemorative honours The Tailor of Gloucester in exquisite detail. Struck to a Brilliant Uncirculated standard with a proof-like finish, this 32mm piece is plated in 24 carat gold and weighs 10.5 grams — a golden celebration of Potter's most enchanting Christmas tale.
A jewel in any Stories of Britain collection — order yours before this festive treasure is stitched up for good.
