Other editions of book The Tale of Mr. Jeremy Fisher

Very Good. See scans and description. New York: Frederick Warne, 1906. First U.S. Edition, later state, with "12 E. 33rd Street" as publisher's address on title page. [CF1, illustrations]. 24mo, 81 pp. Gray/brown cloth, silver imprint, cover illustration, illustrated endpapers. Very Good. Front hinge just starting to get tender, but still sturdy. Corners and spine ends bumped, causing roughening at spine ends (see scans). Small amount of a child's light pencil scribble on ffep and two internal pages. Scarce printing of the first American edition - which is itself apparently rarer than the UK first - of Beatrix Potter's memorable The Tale of Mr. Jeremy Fisher, in which Mr. Jeremy, a bullfrog, narrowly escapes becoming dinner for a fish - while fishing himself. No more deeply meaningful than that, but do we want it to be ? Full of some of Potter's most beautiful full-color illustrations, magical and nostalgic; perhaps exceeding those in her other works, even, yes, The Tale of Peter Rabbit. See scans. L48

The Tale of Mr. Jeremy Fisher is a children's book, written and illustrated by Beatrix Potter. It was published in July 1906. Jeremy Fisher is a frog who lives in a "slippy-sloppy" house at the edge of a pond. One rainy day he collects worms for fishing, and sets off across the pond on his lily-pad boat. He plans to invite his friends for dinner if he catches more than five minnows. He encounters all sorts of setbacks to his goal ...

Jeremy Fisher is a frog that lives in a small house in the middle of the buttercups of the pond . Worn mackintosh and galoshes goes fishing with his rod made of a stalk of grass and a horsehair. A trout rises from the water and seizes him with a snap, but doesn't like the taste of his raincoat thus spits him immediately. From that day Jerermy no longer went fishing. Book illustrated with beautiful Potter's watercolors.
