Potter (Beatrix)The Tale of Jemima Puddle-Duck, first edition, first, second or third printing, colour frontispiece, plain title vignette and 26 colour plates, pictorial endpapers, occasional faint finger-soiling, very slight creasing to title and one or two pp. at front, original olive green boards with mounted colour illustration, minor shelf-lean, spine a little faded, a few small spots to covers, spine ends and corner tips slightly rubbed, still an excellent example overall, housed in a custom drop back box, spine gilt, [Linder p.427; Quinby 14], 16mo, 1908. *** An excellent copy of Beatrix Potter's most critically acclaimed work; in many ways the story of the trusting duck, the crafty fox and the heroic dog Shep are a modern retelling of Little Red Riding Hood with a number of ironic twists. Jemima Puddle-Duck was also the first of Potter's books to be set wholly at Hill Top Farm, with both the locations and many of the characters such as Shep and the farmer's wife drawn from life.
