- The Tale of Jemima Puddle-Duck
"The Tale of Jemima Puddle-Duck" is a book written and illustrated by Beatrix Potter. It was first published in 1908.
This book tells the story of Jemima Puddle-Duck, introduced in the "The Tale of Tom Kitten", who seeks out a nesting place away from the farm, . A charming fox, who looks not unlike Mr. Tod, talks her into nesting at his house on a mysteriously ample supply of feathers. He sends the naive Jemima out to collect traditional herbs for stuffing a duck, saying it is for an omelette. The farm collie, Kep, hears about this, jumped in and rescued her. Jemima is eventually able to hatch four ducklings. [http://www.villageartz.co.nz/PatRoser/Images/ChildrensJemimaPuddleDuckDetailLge.jpgJemima living it up.]
An animated adaptation of the story, shown along with "The Tale of Tom Kitten", was featured on "The World of Peter Rabbit and Friends" in 1993.
