Viac o knihe

In this classic tale, Jemima Puddle-Duck longs for a peaceful place to lay her eggs and hatch them herself. She finds a seemingly perfect spot in a woodshed, unaware that the charming gentleman who owns it has sinister plans for her. This delightful story features Beatrix Potter's own sheepdog, Kep, who saves Jemima from a grim fate. Beatrix Potter, celebrated as one of the most beloved children’s authors, created a series of enchanting stories featuring animal characters such as Mrs. Tiggy-winkle and Benjamin Bunny. Her charming narratives and exquisite illustrations have become a staple of childhood literature. With the proceeds from her books, Potter purchased Hill Top, a farm in the English Lake District, where she became a farmer and prize-winning sheep breeder. She also pioneered a successful merchandise line, starting with the first Peter Rabbit doll in 1903, which has expanded to include baby clothing, nursery decor, and collectibles. Upon her passing, she bequeathed 14 farms and over 4,000 acres of land to the National Trust, ensuring the preservation of the area for future generations. Today, her original tales continue to be published, including this enchanting story, which is the ninth in her series of 23.
