As you may have noticed if you’ve used Google today, it’s Beatrix Potter’s birthday. Which reminds me that I saw the movie based on her life, Miss Potter, a few months ago and thought it was excellent.
And let us remember that the fact that a gentleman is civil and handsome does not mean that he has a duck’s best interests at heart.
I think Jemima Puddleduck is my favorite Potter story. Most of us are about as bright as she is when it comes to knowing what’s good for us. (You can read the whole story here, sort of—you have to switch back and forth between the text and the pictures.)
