The Tale of Mr. Jeremy Fisher endures as one of Beatrix Potter’s most popular and well-loved tales.

It tells of an optimistic and slightly accident-prone frog, who sets off on a fishing expedition across the pond, only to find himself bitten on the toe by a water-beetle, fighting with a stickleback, and eventually nearly eaten by a trout!

Beatrix Potter is regarded as one of the world's best-loved children's authors of all time. From her first book, , published by Frederick Warne in 1902, she went on to create a series of stories based around animal characters including , , , and Tom Kitten.
