BBC Radio 4 - 15 Minute Drama, The Tales of Beatrix Potter, 3. The Tale of Jemima Puddleduck

Five of the famous and timeless tales are celebrated for Christmas.

Jemima looks for a quiet place to lay her eggs away from the farmer’s wife. Starring Janine Duvistki. From December 2013.

Beatrix Potter's famous tales are celebrated this Christmas.

Her love of the British landscape and its inhabitants - coupled with her world famous ability for storytelling - means she has been one of the most celebrated children's authors of the last hundred years.

This suite of five of her tumultuous tales, including some of the lesser-known stories, brings comedic surprise, comfort and joy to the Christmas audience.

Their timeless wonders pit the delight and childlike innocence of the very human characters against the dark and dramatic ruthlessness of the food-chain-led underbelly of Cumbria's fields and hedgerows.

Starring Janine Duvistki, Morwenna Banks and Seymour Mace.

Adapted and Directed by Sean Grundy

Produced by Sally Harrison
A Woolyback production for BBC Radio 4
