A 1906 First Edition copy of The Tale of Mr. Jeremy Fisher
A Perthshire double bank fishing beat and cottage said to be the inspiration for Beatrix Potter’s The Tale of Mr. Jeremy Fisher has gone on sale for £760,000.
For 11 years starting in 1871, Potter’s family let the Dalguise Fishings, by Dunkeld, each summer. Local folklore indicates that Beatrix spent many-an-hour at the river.
The Tale of Mr. Jeremy Fisher is the story of a frog fishing from his lily pad boat who doesn’t catch any fish, but one catches him.
