What Trust did the author of The Tale of Jemima Puddle-Duck leave her house to?
The Tale of Jemima Puddle-Duck The Tale of Jemima Puddle-Duck is a children's book written and illustrated by Beatrix Potter. It was first published by Frederick Warne & Co. in July 1908. Potter composed the book at Hill Top, a working farm in the Lake District she bought in 1905. Following the purchase, her works began to focus on country and village life, incorporating large casts of animal characters and sinister villains. "Jemima Puddle-Duck" was the first of her books set wholly at the farm with background illustrations based on the farm buildings and yard, and nearby locales.
Marion Crawford Marion Crawford, CVO (5 June 1909 – 11 February 1988) was a Scottish governess. She was an employee of the British Royal Family, and taught the children of King George VI and Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon. The children - Princess Margaret and Princess Elizabeth (the future Queen Elizabeth II) - gave her the nickname "Crawfie". Crawford was the named author of the book "The Little Princesses", which told the story of her time with the royal family. After the book was published in 1950, she was banished from court (forced to leave her grace and favour house) and neither the Queen nor any other member of the Royal Family ever spoke to her again.
