So, if you do not have a complete collection of Beatrix Potter books, you are missing something in the field of imaginative and classic children’s fiction! The most popular characters of Beatrix’s books are of course Peter Rabbit, his cousin, Benjamin Bunny and Peter Rabbit’s mischievous nieces and nephews, the Flopsy bunnies. Nevertheless, there are some other characters, which keep reappearing in many of Potter’s books.

One of them is Jemima Puddle duck. Jemima Puddle duck first appeared in The Tale of Tom Kitten and then in The Tale Of Jemima Puddle duck. She is based on a real duck on Beatrix Potter’s farm Hilltop Farm. This duck had a bad habit of hiding her nest in the most inaccessible places.

Jemima Puddle Duck

Jemima Puddle duck just wants a place where she can lay eggs undisturbed. The only problem is that the eggs are always removed from her nest, in the farm. That is why, she decides to go to the forest to find a place where she can lay her eggs and hatch out her baby ducklings. In the forest, she meets a charming well-dressed gentleman, a fox, who promises her that she can lay her eggs undisturbed in a feathered nest. All she has to do is to accompany him to his house. But before that, she needs to collect some traditional herbs, with which he is going to stuff an omelette.

Jemima does not know that those herbs are used for stuffing ducks. It is the collie at the farm, named Kep, who looks through Mr Fox’s plan and comes to rescue Jemima from being eaten by the charming gentleman! Jemima goes back to the farm and hatches four little ducklings in the course of time.

In another of Beatrix Potter’s books, The Tale Of Tom Kitten, Jemima Puddle duck and Mr. Drake Puddle duck found fat little Tom Kitten’s clothes, which he had taken off and thrown on the road. These clothes were instantly put on by Jemima and Mr. Drake. So Tom Kitten and his little brother and sister went home, in a state not fit to be seen, and were put to bed by their angry mother immediately!
