The Tale of Jemima Puddle Duck
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. But little does the silly duck know, 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 Tale of Tom Kitten is set in the cottage garden Beatrix created herself at Hill Top, the farm she owned near the village of Sawrey. Tom and his sisters look so smart in their new clothes. When their mother sends them outside while she waits for her visitors, she couldn’t possibly guess what kind of mess they are going to get themselves into!

The Tale of Mrs. Tiggy-Winkle
One day by a little girl called Lucie, who is in search of her missing pocket handkerchiefs. She knocks on the tiny door, and meets Mrs. Tiggy-winkle who does all the washing and ironing for the neighbouring animals. Lucie spends a lovely day helping her, and it’s only right at the end of the day that she realises Mrs. Tiggy-winkle is a hedgehog!
The Tale of Two Bad Mice
When two naughty little mice discover the door to the beautiful doll’s house ajar, they just have to tiptoe inside and have a look. The temptation to try the delicious looking food in the dining room proves too great however, and chaos ensues when they discover that it will not come off the plates!
The Tale of Benjamin Bunny
When Benjamin Bunny goes to visit his cousin Peter Rabbit he finds Peter feeling very sorry for himself, his mother is cross with him for leaving his coat and shoes in Mr McGregor’s garden and now, to make matters worse, Mr McGregor has hung them up as a scarecrow.
The Tailor of Gloucester
The Tailor of Gloucester tells the story of a poor tailor trying to survive in his freezing workshop over a hard winter. He has a terribly important commission to complete for the Mayor of Gloucester’s wedding on Christmas Day but is ill and tired, and before long is running out of food and thread, as well as time! How will he possibly complete the beautiful coat and embroidered waistcoat?
The Tale of Squirrel Nutkin
This is a Tale about a tail—a tail that belonged to a little red squirrel, and his name was Nutkin. Are you ready for a tall tale of tails? Squirrel Nutkin is a naughty little squirrel with absolutely no manners at all. When all the other little squirrels go over to Owl Island to collect nuts on Old Brown Owl’s land, Squirrel Nutkin thinks making fun of Mr Owl is great fun, but he might not think so for long.
The Tale of Peter Rabbit
Peter Rabbit is a very mischievous rabbit indeed and when his mother goes out for the day, he slips under the gate and straight into Mr McGregor’s vegetable patch. Peter might be a cunning little rabbit but he finds that there is more waiting for him in the garden than he bargained for.
