The Tale of Jemima Puddle-Duck

by Beatrix Potter

Jemima Puddle-duck is a simple duck with a simple wish: she wants to hatch her own eggs! Annoyed by the farmer's wife and her sister-in-law, Jemima sets off on a secret mission to find a quiet nesting spot far away from the farm. When she meets a charming, elegantly dressed gentleman with sandy whiskers and a bushy tail, she thinks she's found the perfect friend. He even offers her a shed full of feathers! But why is he so interested in herbs and onions? Will Jemima realize the truth before it's too late, or is she walking straight into a recipe for disaster?
