Originalni opis knjige
„The Tale of Jemima Puddle-Duck“ is an original classic by Beatrix Potter. 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! Beatrix Potter is regarded as one of the world's best-loved children's authors of all time. From her first book, „The Tale of Peter Rabbit“, published by Frederick Warne in 1902, she went on to create a series of stories based around animal characters including „Mrs. Tiggy-winkle“, „Benjamin Bunny“, „Jemima Puddle-duck“, „Mr. Jeremy Fisher“ and „Tom Kitten“. Her humorous, lively tales and beautiful illustrations have become a natural part of childhood.With revenue from the sales of her books, Beatrix Potter bought a farm – Hill Top – in the English Lake District, where she later became a farmer and prize-winning sheep breeder. She launched the now vast merchandise programme by patenting the very first Peter Rabbit doll in 1903. The product range continues to grow today with licences around the world including baby clothing and bedding, nursery decor products and collectables. Upon her death, Beatrix Potter left 14 farms and over 4000 acres of Lake District farmland to the National Trust so that the place that she loved would remain undeveloped and protected for future generations to enjoy. Today Beatrix Potter's original 23 tales are still published by Frederick Warne, alongside a wide range of other formats including baby books, activity books and gift and sound books. „The Tale of Jemima Puddle-Duck“ is number nine in Beatrix Potter's series of 23 little books.
