Beatrix Potter told a ducky tale about her (6)
I believe the answer is:
jemima
'her' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
I cannot understand how the rest of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for jemima that I've seen before include "- Puddleduck (B. Potter)" , "Beatrix Potter's Puddle-Duck" , "Potter's Miss Puddle-Duck" , "-- Puddleduck (Beatrix Potter)" .)
