Publisher's Synopsis
Jemima Puddle-duck is a simple duck whose eggs are continually confiscated by the farmer's wife - for Jemima is a rather poor next sitter. Deciding to build a nest away from the farm, she is befriended by a sly fox who has her believe he is helping her but in fact is preparing her for his dinner. How she is saved and her problem resolved is another tale by Beatrix Potter, once again displaying how the foolish and naive are rescued from destruction by the loyal and dependable. The Vintage Series by R.F. Gilmor presents to a new generation of young readers, those stories from the past that were treasured and loved.
