Background:

The Beatrix Potter prints shown on this page are from an early edition of her Tale of Jemima Puddle-Duck published in 1911 (the first edition appeared in 1908).

The inspiration for the story was the farm owned by Beatrix Potter's agent, John Cannon.  The story is dedicated to Cannon's two children Ralph and Betsy.

The Tale of Jemima Puddle-Duck is part farmyard story and part "Little Red Riding Hood".  The heroes of the story are the collie Kep and two foxhound friends who help Jemima Puddle-Duck get back to the farm after having been lured into the "gentleman" fox's home.
