The Tale of Jemima Puddle-Duck s a children's book written and illustrated by Beatrix Potter and first published in July 1908.Jemima is a domestic duck of the Aylesbury breed, whose eggs are routinely confiscated by the farmer's wife because she believes Jemima a poor sitter. Jemima searches for a place away from the farm where she can hatch her eggs without human interference, and naively confides her woes to a suave fox who invites her to nest in a shed at his home. Jemima accepts his invitation, little realising her danger: the fox plans to kill and roast her.Kep, a collie on the farm, discovers Jemima's whereabouts and rescues her just in time. Potter indicated the tale was a revision of "Little Red Riding Hood" with Jemima, the fox, and the dog parallels to the fairy tale's heroine, wolf, and woodcutter. Jemima, Kep, the farmer's wife, and her two children were all modelled on real world individuals at Potter's Hill Top farm.NOTE: Potter composed the book at Hill Top, a working farm in the Lake District which she bought in 1905. Following the purchase, her works began to focus on country and village life, incorporating large casts of animal characters and sinister villains. Jemima Puddle-Duck was the first of her books set wholly at the farm with background illustrations based on the farm buildings and yard, and nearby locales.=============TAGS: Beatrix Potter, Jemima, Puddle-Duck children’s stories, lake district, Hill Top Farm, England, bedtime stories, helpful, duck, fox, eggs, ducklings, fox, country gentleman, summer home, red riding hood, country life, village life, kep, puppies, farmer’s wife, children, sitter, sitting, nest, shed, straw, hay, herbs, danger, accept, invitation, rescue,
