The Tale of Jemima Puddle-Duck

LoveReading4Kids Says

This edition of The Tale of Jemima Puddle-Duck comes wrapped in a special bespoke cover created by the iconic British fashion designer Henry Holland of House of Holland. His introduction explains that he sees Jemima as the kind of duck who believes that ‘cleanliness is next to godliness’, an attitude summed up in the trademark slogan emblazoned on the cover over duck-egg blue polka-dots that cleverly pick up the shade of Jemima’s bonnet. Eye-catching and bold it’s a fresh and idiosyncratic way to mark the 150^th anniversary of Beatrix Potter.  ~ Andrea Reece

In celebration of Beatrix Potter’s 150th anniversary, Penguin Random House have commissioned five of Britain and Ireland’s most exciting fashion designers to reimagine the cover designs of Potter’s best-loved tales. Visually stunning and completely unexpected, we hope you enjoy seeing Potter’s characters through this new lens. – Jo Hanks, Publisher

Beatrix Potter had an eye for fashion as well as the natural world, clothing her characters in à la mode jackets, hats, shawls and dresses with Peter Rabbit being inseparable from his iconic blue jacket. It has been a privilege working with modern British and Irish fashion designers, each creating surprising and wonderful designs inspired by Beatrix Potter’s classic tales adding their own distinctive style into the mix.
