✅ More about Mr. Jeremy Fisher
Mr. Jeremy Fisher is a frog that lives in a “slippy-sloppy” house at the edge of a pond. The tale goes that during one rainy day, he collects worms for fishing and sets off across the pond on his lily-pad boat.
Jeremy Fisher wants to invite his friends round for tea and plans to catch fish.
He encounters all sorts of setbacks to his goal, and escapes a large trout who tries to swallow him.
Potters inspiration for Jeremy Fisher likely came from her lazy summers spent with her father at their countryside retreats.
Following the tale’s publication in 1906, a fan wrote to Potter suggesting Jeremy find a wife. Potter sent back a series of miniature letters on the subject of marriage as if from Jeremy and his friends.
