The Tale of Jemima Puddle-Duck illustrated Beatrix Potter — THE TALE OF JEMIMA PUDDLE-DUCK
Beatrix Potter wrote this book after moving to Hill Top, a farm that she bought in the Lake District in NW England. Now her stories began to focus on country and village life with large casts of animal characters. The tale of Jemima Puddle-Duck features real buildings and characters from the farm including the farmer's wife, her two children, and the dog Kep who rescues Jemima from a wily fox.
This tale is widely regarded as one of Potter's best.
