The Tale Of Jemima Puddle~Duck

Vintage! “The Tale of Jemima Puddle-Duck” is a classic children’s book by Beatrix Potter. The story revolves around a domestic duck named Jemima Puddle-Duck who is determined to hatch her own eggs. However, her farm owner, the farmer’s wife, doesn’t believe Jemima is capable of successfully raising ducklings.

To avoid interference, Jemima sets out to find a quiet and secluded spot to lay her eggs. Unfortunately, she encounters a suave fox named Mr. Tod, who invites her to use his shed for nesting. Unaware of the fox’s true intentions, Jemima agrees.

As Jemima continues to lay her eggs in the shed, a friendly collie named Kep becomes suspicious of Mr. Tod. Kep informs the farmer, and just in time, the farmer and his wife rescue Jemima from the fox’s clutches.

The tale ends happily with Jemima Puddle-Duck safely returning to the farm, where her eggs are hatched by a trustworthy hen. The story combines Beatrix Potter’s charming storytelling with detailed illustrations, providing a delightful and cautionary tale for young readers about the importance of discernment and being cautious with strangers.
