The Tale of Mr. Jeremy Fisher
From The Tale of Mr. Jeremy Fisher by Beatrix Potter
The Tale of Mr. Jeremy Fisher was written and illustrated by Beatrix Potter in 1906. Potter created many beloved animal stories set in the English countryside. This text reflects its era; a few period terms have been modernised. Mr. Jeremy Fisher is a gentle comedy about a frog whose fishing trip goes hilariously wrong—children delight in the prickly stickleback, the enormous trout, and the satisfying ending where the unlucky fisherman decides never to go fishing again.
