Time to reveal the answer methinks.

As of course everyone has by now realised i221.photobucket.com/albums/dd161/GWDAdmin1/Smilies/Default/wink.gif it is.......

The Tale of Jemima Puddleduck by Beatrix Potter. i221.photobucket.com/albums/dd161/GWDAdmin1/Smilies/Default/grin.gif

...or in other words...

The Tail (of) Gem Mimer (aka Marcel Marceau) Puddle DUKW (by) Beer Tricks Potter ('s wheel).

Well done to all those who got it right. i221.photobucket.com/albums/dd161/GWDAdmin1/Smilies/Default/smiley.gif
