The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!

  • The Tale of the Mandarin Ducks by Katherine Paterson

    Lovable animals, wonderful characters, and plenty of action. A greedy feudal lord has his eyes set on a duck. Despite his chief steward's advice, the lord has the duck captured and taken back to his castle. A maid, seeing the poor ducks declining health, set's the duck free. But when the lord hears about this, the steward get's blamed. The maid and the steward fall in love, and when the lord sees this, he gets angry and sets out to make an example of them. Will they escape before they meet their demise? This book has a wonderful vintage feel to it. The colors may be dull, but the story will more than make up for that. The scenes are filled with complexity and wonderful patterns that will keep the kids interested in looking, despite the color tone. A absolutely wonderful story ...
