The Tale of Jemima Puddle Duck Beatrix Potter Vintage Children's Book First Centenary Edition

Kittys Notes:

Glorious primrose yellow binding just perfect for this exquisite collectable edition of Beatrix Potter's classic children's bedtime story "The Tale of Jemima Puddleduck".

Notable for its portrait of Beatrix Potter in the character of the farmer's wife in the story and the delightful watercolour illustrations all set around the countryside where Beatrix herself lived in the early 1900's.

This would make a marvellous gift for a baby shower or birthday or delightful Christmas gift to introduce your little one to the enchanting world of Peter Rabbit stories and Beatrix Potter's little tales.

A proper little heirloom quality book in absolutely pristine condition a child could treasure for a life time and hardy enough with the slipcase to bear up to many readings of this delightful children's story.

Jemima thought him mighty civil and handsome. She explained that she had not lost her way but that she was trying to find a convenient dry nesting-place.

'AH! is that so? Indeed!' said the man with sandy whiskers looking curiously at Jemima. He folded up his newspaper and put it in his coat-tail pocket...
