Written and illustrated by Beatrix Potter, this charming story introduces the sly and scheming Sandy-whiskered Gentleman — a fox who lures Jemima into his woodland hideaway with dangerously hospitable intentions. With gentle humour and Potter's signature watercolour illustrations, the narrative balances innocence and peril in a way that captivates both young readers and adults alike. First published in 1908, it remains one of the most enduring titles in Potter's celebrated series of little books, presenting a timeless tale of naivety, cunning, and the loyalty of true friends.
