Rupert William Potter, Beatrix Potter's father, was a major influence on the composition of The Tale of Mr. Jeremy Fisher. Rupert William Potter was a keen fisherman and enjoyed telling stories about his fishing exploits.

Potter felt that her attempt to imitate Caldecott's style had not been entirely successful. In her thirties, Potter published the highly successful children's book The Tale of Peter Rabbit and became secretly engaged to her publisher, Norman Warne, causing a breach with her parents, who disapproved of his social status. Warne died before the wedding.He scrambled out on the first bank he came to, and he hopped home across the meadow with his macintosh all in tatters.
