Two Tales of Beatrix Potter: Jemima Puddle-Duck and The Story of a Fierce Bad Rabbit March 8, 2009

Absent-minded Jemima Puddle-Duck takes flight on a fine spring day in search of a place to lay her eggs, and meets a handsome foxy-whiskered gentleman who invites her to lay her eggs in his shed. She travels back and forth for many days and nights, laying eggs in the gentleman's hovel. One day, the foxy-whiskered gentleman suggests that they should have dinner together and sends her shopping for some herbs and an onion. Little does she know he is planning to have duck soup for dinner!

In The Story of A Fierce Bad Rabbit, the Fierce Bad Rabbit and the Nice Gentle Rabbit argue over the ownership of a carrot. The Fierce Bad Rabbit takes the carrot without even saying please! After a brief skirmish with a Hunter, the Fierce Bad Rabbit lives to regret his bad manners.

Hudson Vagabond Puppets uses larger-than-life bunraku-style puppets to bring to life these cherished tales by Beatrix Potter.
