It was first published by Frederick Warne & Co. in July 1908 . Potter composed the book at Hill Top, a working farm in the Lake District she bought in 1905 . Following the purchase, her works began to focus on country and village life, incorporating large casts of animal characters and sinister villains . Jemima Puddle - Duck was the first of her books set wholly at the farm with background illustrations based on the farm buildings and yard, and nearby locales . </P> <P> Jemima is a domestic duck of the Aylesbury breed, whose eggs are routinely confiscated by the farmer's wife because she believes Jemima a poor sitter . Jemima searches for a place away from the farm where she can hatch her eggs without human interference, and naively confides her woes to a suave fox who invites her to nest in a shed at his home . Jemima accepts his invitation, little realising her danger: the fox plans to kill and roast her . Kep, a collie on the farm, discovers Jemima's whereabouts and rescues her just in time . Potter indicated the tale was a revision of "Little Red Riding Hood" with Jemima, the fox, and the dog parallels to the fairy tale's heroine, wolf, and woodcutter . Jemima, Kep, the farmer's wife, and her two children were all modelled on real world individuals at Potter's Hill Top farm . </P>
