Farmer Duck

　　"Marvellously expressive pictures and a satisfying text make this the outstanding picture book of the year" The Sunday Times

　　A stunning 25th anniversary edition of a modern classic from two of the most celebrated picture book creators of all time – Owl Babies author, Martin Waddell, and Bear Hunt illustrator, Helen Oxenbury – this is a story of farmyard friendship and justice. Highly commended for the Kate Greenaway Medal and the winner of a British Book Award, this is a beautiful edition to share and treasure with a foreword and gorgeous gold foil on the cover and spine.
