| book description |
As well as being the celebrated creator of the enduringly popular Peter Rabbit tales, Beatrix Potter was the author of a number of stories featuring other animals – ducks, mice, frogs – which display the same inventive brilliance and mercurial charm. From the tale of Jemima Puddle-Duck, who is annoyed with the farmer’s wife for not letting her hatch her own eggs, to that of Jeremy Fisher, a frog who sets off across the pond on his lily-pad boat to go fishing, this selection of Potter’s best animal stories, accompanied by beautiful new illustrations by Anna Currey, stands as testament to its author’s genius and sensibility. Contents: ‘The Tale of Two Bad Mice’, ‘The Tale of Jemima Puddle-Duck’, ‘The Tale of Mrs Tittlemouse’, ‘The Tale of Jeremy Fisher’ and ‘The Tale of Johnny Town-Mouse’; Glossary; 80 colour illustrations by Anna Currey. ABOUT THE SERIES: Alma Junior Classics series of illustrated classics includes some of the greatest books ever written for younger readers and new translations of unjustly neglected international works. Our aim is to give our list an international feel and offer young readers to opportunity to connect with other cultures and literatures – this applies not only to the titles we chose but also to the illustrators we commission – so that we can bring a bit of novelty into the canon of British children’s literature. All children’s classics contain extra material for young readers, including a profile of the author, a section on the book, a list of characters, a glossary and a test-yourself quiz.
