'Jemima Puddle-Duck is her poem about [Hill Top Farm] itself, and anyone who is curious to reconstruct its exact appearance in those days can do so from the pictures in that book…' (Margaret Lane). Another of the author's most famous creations, Jemima Puddle-Duck, with her naive & trusting nature, was based on a real duck from Hill Top Farm, and proved immensely popular, spin-off merchandise including a Jemima painting book and illustrated fabric placemats hand-fashioned by Potter and distributed to friends. Critically, the book is considered one of Potter's best.

First edition, first, second or third printing; 16mo (150 x 115 mm); colour frontispiece, plain title vignette & 26 colour plates, pictorial endpapers, the occasional, very faint smudge, otherwise very bright and near-fine; publisher's olive green boards with mounted colour illustration, spine lightly faded, occasional signs of wear to extremities, else near-fine; 86pp.
