Origin[]
Mr. Jeremy Fisher is a gentleman frog who lives in a little damp house amongst the buttercups at the edge of a pond. His best friends are Mr. Alderman Ptolemy Tortoise and Sir Isaac Newton. He loves fishing, cooking, and entertaining his friends. His favorite foods are minnows, butterfly sandwiches, and roasted grasshopper with ladybird sauce.
Jeremy stars in the book,The Tale of Mr. Jeremy Fisher. One rainy day, he decides to invite his friends for a dinner party if he catches more than five fish. He wears a Macintosh and a pair of shiny galoshes. He brings his rod and basket to his lily-pad boat. But troubles ruin his fishing trip: a water beetle snaps at his toes, rats make him move his boat, he accidentally catches Jack Sharp, little fish laugh at him, and a giant trout grabs him, but spits him out because of the taste of the Macintosh. He goes home, puts sticking plaster on his fingers, and serves his friends roasted grasshopper with ladybird sauce.
