Product Information

The Tale of Mrs. Tittlemouse is number eleven in Beatrix Potter's series of 23 little books, the titles of which are as follows: 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." This experience sparked Potter’s lifelong interest in the natural world and formed the basis for her love of animals and the countryside that shone through her novels.

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.

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.’ But the trout was so displeased with the taste of the macintosh, that in less than half a minute it spat him out again; and the only thing it swallowed was Mr. Jeremy’s goloshes.

The Tale of Mr. Jeremy Fisher is a children's fantasy story by the British author and illustrator Beatrix Potter. It was first published in July 1906. 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..."Translations of The Tale of Mr. Jeremy Fisher into other languages include two different translations into French (1940 and 1984) and two different translations into Dutch (1946 and 1970). An edition of the book in the Initial Teaching Alphabet was published in 1965.

Once or twice something moved about with a rustle and a splash amongst the rushes at the side of the pond. This proved to be a wise decision. When the frog fisherman dropped in the bait, there was a bite immediately. ‘A minnow! A minnow! I’ve caught a fish!’ cried Mr Jeremy excitedly. Potter’s tales were initially rejected by publishing house Frederik Warne and Co., but upon the recommendation of renowned children’s author L. Leslie Brooke, the firm agreed to publish her work. A great big enormous trout came up—ker-pflop-p-p-p! with a splash— and it seized Mr. Jeremy with a snap, “Ow! Ow! Ow!”—and then it turned and dived down to the bottom of the pond!

And instead of a nice dish of minnows—they had a roasted grasshopper with lady-bird sauce; which frogs consider a beautiful treat; but I think it must have been nasty! 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? From the age of eight, Potter immersed herself in the world of fairytales such as Aesop’s Fables and Edward Lear’s Book of Nonsense .
