Beatrix Potter (1866–1943) loved the countryside and spent much of her childhood drawing and studying animals. 'The Tale of Peter Rabbit', first published in 1902, was her first book. She later went on to publish more than twenty tales and collections of rhymes. Mr. Jeremy Fisher is a frog who lives in a small house, the floor of which is always damp, on the edge of a pond. One morning, he is happy to see that it is raining. He goes out to get worms to use as bait to catch minnows. He decides that, if he catches more than five minnows, he will invite his friends the newt Sir Isaac Newton and Alderman Ptolemy Tortoise to dinner. He is, however, aware that the Alderman only eats salad. A segment based on The Tale of Mr. Jeremy Fisher is included in the 1971 Royal Ballet film Tales of Beatrix Potter. [1] This was quite different from what I had expected of Beatrix Potter’s more traditional books in general. It was creepy. Peter Rabbit's cousin, Benjamin Bunny, has been a very popular character since this book's first publication in 1904. In this tale we hear all about his and Peter's adventures in Mr McGregor's vegetable garden, and what happens to them when they meet a cat! Even more frightening, is what happens to the two pesky bunnies when Old Mr Benjamin Bunny finds out what they have been up to!

Vintage Short Story by Beatrix Potter

Once or twice he heard rustles and splashes among the rushes at the side of the pond. ‘Oh dear. I hope that is not a rat,’ said Mr Jeremy, ‘I think I’ll go and fish somewhere else.’ The Tale of Mrs. Tittlemouse is number eleven in Beatrix Potter's series of 23 little books, the titles of which are as follows: Potter's tale pays homage to the leisurely summers her father and his companions passed sport fishing at rented country estates in Scotland. Following the tale's publication, a child fan wrote to Potter suggesting Jeremy find a wife. Potter responded with a series of miniature letters on the theme as if from Jeremy and his pals. Following Potter's death in 1943, licences were issued to various firms to produce the Potter characters. Jeremy and his friends were released as porcelain figurines, plush toys, and other merchandise.

Potter was born into an upper-middle-class family in Brompton, London. Both of her parents, Rupert and Helen, were keen artists and encouraged her to pursue her talents. As a child, her parents took Beatrix and her brother, William, to an estate on the River Tay where the Potter children were free to roam the Scottish countryside. My Jeremy Fisher enjoys fishing… until he is almost eaten by a fish! Why do you think he says he won’t go fishing again?Once upon a time there was a frog called Mr Jeremy Fisher. He lived in a little, damp house among the buttercups at the edge of a pond. There was water everywhere in the house and it made the floors very slippery as it slopped against the walls and down the hallway. Mr Jeremy Fisher always had wet feet. But he didn’t mind and, because he lived on his own, there wasn’t anyone to tell him off for not wearing wellington boots. One of Beatrix Potter's most popular and well-loved tales, this mischievous little rabbit has hopped into the heart of generations of book lovers.
