The Mousewife

Rumer Godden

First published 1951
Type Short Fiction
Length Short Story

For younger children, adapted from a story "written down in her journal by Dorothy Wordsworth for her brother William" ({{a|William Wordsworth}}). --brief review by Gwendolen Freeman, The Spectator 1951-12-07 p784 (quoting the 1st UK ed.)

Date 1951-03-01 is from starred review of the 1st US edition, Kirkus Reviews March 1951 (as posted later online, above). It may be doubted here, both as that of the US ed. and as matching the date of the journal issue.
