MR. JEREMY shoved the boat out again a little way, and dropped in the bait. There was a bite almost directly; the float gave a tremendous bobbit! This, along with The Tale of The Fierce Bad Rabbit, was intended for very young children. It recounts the tale of a pussy cat, Miss Moppet, chasing a mouse. It turns out to be a bit of a battle of wits, and who do you think will win? Excellent!’ he said. ‘I will dig up some worms to use as bait and go fishing. I shall have a dish of tasty minnows for my dinner and, if I catch more than five fish, I will invite my friends Mr Alderman the Tortoise and Sir Isaac Newton to join me. But, as the tortoise is vegetarian, he prefers salad.’

There once lived a frog named Mr. Jeremy Fisher who lived in a little damp house around a pond. One day, Mr. Jeremy Fisher decided to go fishing to catch minnows for his dinner and invite his friends Sir Isaac Newton and Mr. Aldernman Ptolemy Tortoise to dine with him. So Mr. Jeremy Fisher went out to his little boat and tried to capture a minnow, but failed at every try until a large trout came along and... 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. HE scrambled out on the first bank he came to, and he hopped home across the meadow with his macintosh all in tatters. Once upon a time, there was a frog called Mr. Jeremy Fisher; he lived in a little damp house amongst the buttercups at the edge of a pond..." Do you ever feel that the grass is always greener on the other side of the fence? Well, so did Johnny Town-Mouse and Timmy Willie. One was a town mouse and one was a country mouse, and when they end up in each other's worlds they soon discover that they were much happier where they started!With a circulating mintage of just under 10 million, the Jeremy Fisher 50p is unfortunately not rare. ONCE or twice something moved about with a rustle and a splash amongst the rushes at the side of the pond. The Tale of Mrs Tiggy-winkle is number six in Beatrix Potter's series of 23 little books. Look out for the rest! Peter Rabbit loves the yummy vegetables he finds in Mr McGregor's garden, the only problem is: Mr McGregor doesn't want Peter to get his paws on his crops! Once or twice something moved about with a rustle and a splash amongst the rushes at the side of the pond.

The boat was round and green and very much like all the other water lily leaves on the surface on the pond. Cecily Parsley's Nursery Rhymes is a sequel to Beatrix Potter's first rhyme collection, Appley Dapply's Nursery Rhymes. Like the previous book it contains material she had produced and collected over a period of many years. the Cecily Parsley sequence of illustrations, for example, were first made into a little booklet twenty-five years earlier, in 1897. MR. JEREMY put on a macintosh, and a pair of shiny goloshes; he took his rod and basket, and set off with enormous hops to the place where he kept his boat. Four Jeremy letters were written at about 1910 to Drew Fayle who thought Jeremy should marry. In one letter, Sir Isaac promises Master Fayle a piece of wedding cake should Jeremy marry and, in another letter, Ptolemy writes that Jeremy's parties "would be much more agreeable if there were a lady to preside at the table." Jeremy writes in the third letter: "When I bought my sprigged waistcoat & my maroon tail-coat I had hopes ... but I am alone ... if there were a 'Mrs. Jeremy Fisher' she might object to snails. It is some satisfaction to be able to have as much water & mud in the house as a person likes."

She had numerous pets, and through holidays in Scotland and the Lake District, developed a love of landscape, flora, and fauna, all of which she closely observed and painted.
