Description

Jemima Puddle-Duck wants to hatch her own eggs and slips away to a wood-shed offered by a polite sandy-whiskered gentleman. The fox's hospitality has an appetite behind it until Kep the collie and his friends break the plot. She comes home with four ducklings and a hard lesson. Potter's farmyard comedy of trust, feathers, and a narrow escape.

Author

Beatrix Potter (1866–1943) gave the world Peter Rabbit, then spent a lifetime proving she was more than a nursery name. A Victorian girl who drew what she saw — animals, plants, the texture of a garden wall — she made books in which every cabbage and jacket button earns its place. Later she became Mrs Heelis of the Lakes, a sheep farmer and a fierce guardian of countryside.
