Description

Jemima Puddle-Duck is annoyed that the farmer's wife will not let her hatch her own eggs, so she nests in the wood and trusts a sandy-whiskered gentleman who offers a shed and fox-flavoured advice. Kep the collie and the farm dogs spoil the trap; she keeps four ducklings from the wreck of her plan. Potter's tale of a trusting duck and a fox who almost succeeded.

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.
