«The Ugly Duckling» (El patito feo) is the classic fairy tale by Hans Christian Andersen, published by Puffin in hardback (24 pages, in English).
The tale tells the story of a duckling who, for being different from his siblings, suffers rejection from the farm animals; after feeling lonely and marginalised, he finally discovers that he has transformed into a beautiful swan. This version is presented in comic format, with drawings by Amelia Rosato and a lively text adapted by Rita Storey.
It belongs to the Viking Kestrel Picture Books series, a collection of four illustrated fairy-tale albums. Text adapted by Rita Storey and illustrations by Amelia Rosato.
Designed for early readers and for reading aloud with the family; the comic format brings this Andersen classic closer to those who prefer visual stories.
Nineteenth-century Danish writer, author of fairy tales such as The Little Mermaid, The Steadfast Tin Soldier, The Ugly Duckling and The Snow Queen.
