During one rainy day, he collects worms for fishing and sets off across the pond on his lily-pad boat. He plans to invite his friends for dinner if he catches more than five minnows. He encounters all sorts of setbacks to his goal, and escapes a large trout who tries to swallow him. He swims for shore, decides he will not go fishing again, and hops home.Border Fine Arts were known for creating life-like sculptures depicting a whole variety of typical farmyard scenes, woodland creatures and rural landscapes, as well as branded items such as Beatrix Potter and Winnie the Pooh characters. Founded in 1974 out of a countryside location on the Scottish Borders, they produced a vast catalogue of realistic models but closed its factory doors in 2016. The Jeremy Fisher figurine is from their Malaysia production.
