The wheat was yellow, the oats were green, the hay was dry and delicious to roll in, and from the old ruined house which nobody lived in, down to the edge of the canal, was a forest of prickly plants called burdocks so tall that a whole family of children might have dwelt in them and never have been found out. It was summer in the land of Denmark, and though for most of the year the country looks flat and ugly, it was beautiful now. This story has some out-door sound-effects to complete the atmosphere. This story is a little longer than our usual audio - so sit back and let Hans Christian Andersen's wonderful writing - and Natasha's reading - transport you the countryside. The farmyard ducks don't like him - and he is so upset that he sets out on a journey across the moors all on his own, until, at the wonderful ending he finds his true self. The duckling her isn't cute and yellow like the other baby ducks.
That is exactly what the "Ugly Duckling" in this story has to live with. We probably all know somebody at school is isn't quite accepted by the class. Mary ‘Paul’ Pollard was a former Keeper of Early Printed Books in the Library.This is the classic story of somebody who is a "bit different".
