Several months later, following an intense effort to rid the house of mice, Johnny Town-Mouse visits Timmy Willie's country home with a view to possibly staying there permanently. He eventually leaves the town the same way that he came. Although Johnny Town-Mouse tries hard to make Timmy Willie feel welcome in his new home, Timmy Willie does not like the food or the noises in the town and is afraid of the cat in the house. The town house is home to a great many mice, including the title character Johnny Town-Mouse. In the book, a country mouse named Timmy Willie is accidentally carried to a house in the town in a hamper full of vegetables. This is acknowledged in the book's dedication, which reads, "To Aesop in the shadows." The story is an adaptation of the Aesop's fable "The Town Mouse and the Country Mouse". The Tale of Johnny Town-Mouse is a children's picture book by the British author and illustrator Beatrix Potter. Original illustration by Beatrix Potter for the book's front cover.
