The Tale of Jemima Puddle-duck - Centenary Edition 1908-2008 The Tale of Jemima Puddle-duck - Centenary Edition 1908-2008
Beatrix Potter loved the countryside and she spent much of her otherwise conventional Victorian childhood drawing and studying animals. Her passion for the natural world lay behind the creation of her famous series of little books. A particular source of inspiration was the English Lake District where she lived for the last 30 years of her life as a farmer and land conservationist, working with the National Trust. The first farm that she owned was called Hill Top, and she used it and its Lakeland surroundings in 'The Tale of Jemima Puddle-duck'.
This 2008 gift edition celebrates the centenary of the book's original publication.
