The first farm that Beatrix Potter owned was called Hill Top and she used it and its Lakeland surroundings in this tale. Jemima was a real Hill Top duck who wasn't good at hatching eggs and Beatrix Potter's favourite sheepdog, Kep, features as the wise friend who rescues Jemima. Unsuspecting Jemima Puddle-Duck foolishly allows the cunning Fox to help her find a "safe" nest. Kep, the barnyard collie, and her pups rescue Jemima Puddle-Duck from the fox's cooking pot
