The Ugly Duckling

When the ugly duckling is teased for being different, he leaves the farm to find a new home. But what else will he discover at the end of his long journey?

Relive the adventure of the classic fairy tale, originally written by Hans Christian Andersen, and retold by Georgina Wren. With delightful illustrations throughout by Lucy Barnard, young readers will be enchanted as they join the ugly duckling on his journey in this favorite tale of love, family and acceptance.

After graduating in English and Related Literatures in 2010, Georgina Wren travelled the world before settling down on a houseboat in Notting Hill, London. With a head full of new ideas and an ear for fun, rhyming text, she is one of Two Windmill’s favourite new authors.

After Lucy Barnard completed her art foundation course in Cheltenham and her illustration degree in Exeter, she worked at various publishing companies in London before becoming a freelance illustrator. She worked for many years with acrylic paint and pencils but has recently adapted her illustration style and now works digitally. As well as illustrating for others, she also writes and illustrates her own stories, quite often inspired by her two children!
