Mrs. Pepperpot

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Mrs. Pepperpot (Norwegian: Teskjekjerringa, translation: the teaspoon lady) is a fictional character in a series of children's books created by the Norwegian author Alf Prøysen.

The first book in the series was printed in 1956. The main character, Mrs. Pepperpot, is a little old lady who lives in a cottage in the countryside together with her husband. Mrs. Pepperpot has a secret - she occasionally shrinks to the size of a teaspoon or pepperpot, but nevertheless always manages to cope with the tricky situations that she finds herself in.

A successful Japanese anime TV series adaptation of "Mrs. Pepperpot" called "Spoon Obaasan" was produced by Studio Pierrot in the 1980s.
