Potter composed the book at Hill Top, a working farm in the Lake District she. Because they have always been completely true to a child's experience, Potter's 23 books continue to endure. Jemima Puddle-Duck is one of Beatrix Potters most famous and loved characters. Full of pastoral period charm and adorned with exquisite illustrations, this is one of Potter’s most sublime achievements. But whatever the tale, both children and adults alike can be delighted by the artistry in Potter's illustrations, while they also enjoy a very good read. One of the best loved instalments of Beatrix Potter’s classic series, The Tale of Jemima Puddle Duck finds the scatty Jemima tricked by a sinister ‘foxy gentleman’ with designs on her unhatched eggs. Of course, Beatrix Potter created many memorable children's characters, including Benjamin Bunny, Tom Kitten, Jemima Puddle-duck and Jeremy Fisher. Four were sacrificed in 1903 to make space for illustrated endpapers, and two have never been used before. Most notably, The Tale of Peter Rabbit restores six of Potter's original illustrations. The colors and details of the watercolors in the volumes are reproduced more accurately than ever before, and it has now been possible to disguise damage that has affected the artwork over the years. The aim of these editions is to be as close as possible to Beatrix Potter's intentions while benefiting from modern printing and design techniques. To celebrate Peter's birthday, Frederick Warne is publishing new editions of all 23 of Potter's original tales, which take the very first printings of Potter's works as their guide.
