In the works of Beatrix Potter, what kind of creature is Jeremy Fisher?
"cut out and pasted in place. It is unknown if this was done because the original was wrong or that Potter was seeking a dimensional effect. Randolph Caldecott was an inspiration for Potter and his influence is evident in the depictions of Samuel Whiskers and Anna Maria who were modelled on the Rat and Miss Mousey in the illustrations for his ""A Frog He Would A-Wooing Go"". Potter's Jeremy Fisher was based on Caldecott's Frog. Some children wondered if Potter used a trussed-up kitten as a live model in her depiction of Tom Kitten waiting to be rolled into a"
"a wife. Potter responded with a series of miniature letters on the theme as if from Jeremy and his pals. After Potter's death in 1943, licences were issued to various firms to produce the Potter characters. Jeremy and his friends were released as porcelain figurines, plush toys, and other merchandise. Jeremy Fisher is a toad that lives in a damp little house amongst the buttercups at the edge of a pond. His larder and back passage are ""slippy-sloppy"" with water, but he likes getting his feet wet; no one ever scolds and he never catches cold. One day, Jeremy finds"
"bank-side creatures worry him, the stickleback threatens him directly, and the trout tries to swallow him. But Potter makes the point that all creatures are prey, ending the story with Jeremy Fisher himself eating a grasshopper smothered in lady-bird sauce. About 1907 Potter created miniature letters delivered to child fans in either a miniature mail bag or a miniature mail box. ""Some of the letters were very funny,"" Potter wrote, ""The defect was that inquiries and answers were all mixed up."" Four ""Jeremy"" letters were written at about 1910 to Drew Fayle who thought Jeremy should marry. In one letter,"
"in another Potter tale, writes Master Fayle in the fourth letter:Dear Master Drew,<br> If you please Sir I am a widow; & I think it very wrong that there is not any Mrs. Fisher, but ""I"" would not marry Mr. Jeremy not for worlds, the way he does live in that house all slippy-sloppy; not any lady would stand it, & not a bit of good starching his cravats.<br> Yr. obedient washerwoman,Tiggy Winkle. The characters from ""Jeremy Fisher"" have appeared as porcelain figurines, plush toys, and other merchandise. In 1950, Beswick Pottery issued a porcelain figurine of Jeremy and figurines"
"can be found in the Authorized King James Version of the Bible. ""Jeremy Fisher"" reflects the characteristic cadence and ""employs a psalm-like caesura in the middle of [a] sentence"". Carpenter sees in Potter's work thematic shifts from the early work onward. In the first stage of her work, he sees in stories such as ""The Tale of Peter Rabbit"" a type of Jack-the-Giant-Killer theme, in which a small creature confronts a large creature that he believes culminates in ""The Tale of Jeremy Fisher"". Potter places Jeremy Fisher in a dangerous world, according to Carpenter. The fishing experience is frightening: the"

In 1984, the tale was again translated into French by M.A. James as ""L’histoire de Monsieur Jérémie Peche-a-la-Ligne"". In 1986 MacDonald wrote that Potter's books had become a ""traditional part of childhood in most only English-speaking countries and in many of the countries into whose languages Potter's books have been translated"".

"and Salad Fingers asks if somebody is there; it is, in fact, the Jeremy Fisher puppet on his finger. Salad Fingers remarks that he thought Jeremy was out ""fighting the Great War"". Jeremy Fisher/Salad Fingers responds in garbled gibberish which Fingers can't understand, musing that Fisher seems ""to have adopted a strange dialect."" Another perspective shot shows Jeremy Fisher (now with arms) handing Salad Fingers a toy horse. Salad Fingers is pleased with the present, and remarks on the pleasing texture. He then eats Jeremy Fisher and immediately forgets, wondering ""Where have you gotten to?"" He begins to play with"
"Jeremy Hillary Boob Jeremy Hillary Boob, Ph.D., is a fictional character appearing in the 1968 animated film ""Yellow Submarine"". He was voiced by Dick Emery and was inspired by Jeremy DuQuesnay Adams, a professor at Southern Methodist University. In the film, the Beatles, on their way to save the fictitious region of Pepperland from the Blue Meanies, encounter Jeremy, a strange little brown-furred being with a blue face, pink ears and a fluffy, rabbit-like tail. He has an extremely eccentric and flamboyant personality. He lives in the Sea of Nothing, also known as Nowhere Land, and speaks mostly in rhyme."
"familiar with [the] hazards and excitements of angling and dry-fly fishing ... as a girl [she] had often enough had to endure her father and his friends relating their fishing adventures, and the picture of Mr Jeremy Fisher retailing his mishap to Sir Isaac Newton is so rich in observation, both of amphibians and elderly gentlemen, that one is ever afterwards prone to confuse them in memory"". Mr. Potter not only fished for sport but collected the works of Randolph Caldecott. In ""Jeremy Fisher"", Potter tried to copy Caldecott but felt she had failed. ""I did try to copy Caldecott,"""

Jim takes along his native, volleyball-sized pet, Willis the Bouncer, who is about as intelligent as a human child and has a photographic memory for sounds, which he can also reproduce perfectly. At a rest stop, Willis wanders off and encounters one of the adult sentient Martians. The three-legged alien takes the two boys and Willis to join a ritual called ""growing together"" with a group of its fellows. They also share water, making Jim and Frank ""water friends"" with the Martian, who is named Gekko. At school, Jim gets into trouble with the authoritarian headmaster,"

"more interesting character when humanised with the clothing; without it, she is just a farmyard duck. As Potter pointed out, the tale is a revision of a fairy tale and belongs in the indefinite period of ""once upon a time"". The story is one of Potter's more ominous and is fraught with tension. Jemima is a headstrong innocent distracted by her overwhelming desire to nest, and thus unable to penetrate the fox's designs and comprehend her dangerous situation. The tension rises in increments from the mysterious feather-filled shed (the place of slaughter), to the fox's plan for an omelette (of"
