Jemima, Kep, the farmer's wife and her two children were all modeled on real world individuals at Potter's Hill Top farm. Potter indicated the tale was a revision of "Little Red Riding Hood" with Jemima, the fox, and the dog parallels to the fairy tale's heroine, wolf, and woodcutter. The Tale of Jemima Puddle-Duck is an original classic by Beatrix Potter. Kep, a collie on the farm, discovers Jemima's whereabouts and rescues her just in time. Jemima accepts his invitation, little realizing her danger: the fox plans to kill and roast her. Jemima searches for a place away from the farm where she can hatch her eggs without human interference, and naively confides her woes to a suave fox who invites her to nest in a shed at his home. **Large print, oversized edition for easy reading** Jemima is a domestic duck whose eggs are routinely confiscated by the farmer's wife because she believes Jemima a poor sitter.
