Other editions of book The Tale of Jemima Puddle-Duck

Jemima is a domestic duck, 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. Beatrix 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. Both tales touch upon physical appetite, temptation, and foolish behaviour. The book was hugely popular, and is considered one of her best among critics. This edition is limited to 1,000 copies.

Beautiful small illustrated hardcover. If you removed the jacket the bright green hardbaords with the main character on the front would appear not to have come with a jacket. The hardboards have a little corner wear. The jacket ( a very rare item) is white and green with a similar bird illustration. Jacket is in fair shape due to edge wear along the top and botom and some signs of handling. book like new inside.
