One of the best loved instalments of Beatrix Potter’s classic series, The Tale of Jemima Puddle Duck finds the scatty Jemima tricked by a sinister ‘foxy gentleman’ with designs on her unhatched eggs. Full of pastoral period charm and adorned with exquisite illustrations, this is one of Potter’s most sublime achievements.
Listen to the story of Jemima Puddle-duck, who was annoyed because the farmer's wife would not let her hatch her own eggs.
Jemima Puddle-Duck is determined to be a good mother and hatch her own eggs so one day, she sets out from the farm wearing a shawl and bonnet to find a nice quiet place in the woods to nest.
It’s not long before Jemima happens upon a smart, sandy-whiskered, foxy gentleman who offers her a nice comfortable bed of feathers in his summer house. Jemima thinks herself very lucky but perhaps the foxy gentleman is not all he appears to be.
