There are references to foot tickling in two other literary works that I can think of right now:
1. *The Wide, Wide World* by Susan Warner has repeated references to one girl threatening another with tickling, and contains this passage:
"You're a fine gentleman!" said Nancy, tartly.
"Have you done what I gave you to do?" said Mr. Van Brunt coolly.
"Yesthere!" said Nancy, holding up Ellen's bare feet on one hand, while the fingers of the other secretly applied in ticklish
fashion to the soles of them caused Ellen suddenly to start and scream.
This is a terrible novel, in my opinion, and you're never really sure how old the girls are, but its a tickle, and the whole thing is available for free on the net.
Also, one of the stories in Bobbie Ann Mason's excellent short story collection, *Shiloh and Other Stories*, contains a reference to an uncle threatening his wife, saying he'll "String her up and tickle her feet till she hollers 'uncle.'
Just sharing...
