Hans Christian Andersen's The Ugly Duckling
By Stephen Mitchell
Illustrated by Fancher & Johnson
A stunning retelling of Hans Christian Andersen's classic fairy tale.
One morning, a mother duck watches her ducklings hatch. Each one is small and pretty -- except for one very large and very ugly duckling. Cast out of the farmyard, he sets off on a lonely journey to find somewhere he will fit in. When he's about to give up, he makes a surprising discovery and realises that being different isn't such a bad thing after all!
- A large format fairytale picture book to treasure.
- Eye-catching collage paintings, using a variety of textiles to create different visual effects, capture the emotion of this heartwarming tale.
