Books with title The Jemima Puddle-duck Pop-up Book

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.

Poor Jemima. All she wants to do is lay her eggs in peace, and be allowed to hatch them herself. At last she flies off and finds the perfect place. Little does the silly duck realise that the charming gentleman who has lent her his woodshed is busily planning a delicious meal of . . . roast duck! Jemima was a real duck belonging to Beatrix Potter, who lived at her farm, Hill Top. The story also features Beatrix's own sheepdog, Kep, who thankfully manages to save Jemima from a nasty fate! This edition is part of a collection of five books designed by iconic British and Irish fashion designers to celebration the 150th anniversary of Beatrix Potter. The Tale of Jemima Puddle-Duck was designed by Henry Holland (House of Holland) - a British fashion designer and businessman. Holland gained attention with his bold, 1980s-inspired T-shirts, and subsequently shot to fame after founding his own fashion house

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.
