Ugly Duckling by Ian Beck
First published in hardback in 1997, a title in the ORCHARD PICTUREBOOKS series which offers a retelling of the Hans Christian Andersen classic, in which the little ugly duckling is shunned by the other ducks because he looks so different.
Ian Beck is a popular illustrator of children's books and his work appears frequently in magazines and advertisements. He has designed the jackets of many adult novels including all the Penguin editions of David Lodge and the Alice Thomas Ellis books. Ian's first book for Orchard was Five Little Ducks, which was so successful that a 'Big Book' format was published. The Ugly Duckling and The Orchard Book of Fairy Tales followed and Ian also contributed illustration to The Orchard Book of Opera Stories. Ian has also illustrated The Orchard ABC and Little Angel written by Geraldine McCaughrean.
