Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
Poor Jemima. All she wants to do is lay her eggs in peace, and be allowed to hatch them herself. At last she flies off and finds the perfect place. Little does the silly duck realise that the charming gentleman who has lent her his woodshed is busily planning a delicious meal of . . . roast duck!
Jemima was a real duck belonging to Beatrix Potter, who lived at her farm, Hill Top. The story also features Beatrix's own sheepdog, Kep, who thankfully manages to save Jemima from a nasty fate!

"The World of Beatrix Potter, Peter Rabbit"--Page 4 of cover
Originally published by Frederick Warne in 1908. This edition published with reset text and new reproductions of Beatrix Potter's illustrations--T.p. Verso.
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
