Other editions of book The Ugly Duckling

"An Old Tale Illustrated Anew by Fern Bisel Peat." The classic Hans Christian Anderson fairy tale THE UGLY DUCKLING is upgraded with beautifully done illustrations by Fern Bisel Peat. 20 pages. The illustrations are in both black and white, as well as color in Peat's distinctive style. The cloth and stitch look of the characters adds not only a unique design, but also suitable whimsy. The illustrations are mainly about a quarter page that is shared with text; however, there are several that are full page throughout the story. There is some full page text that is usually paired with a full page illustration. Illustrator Fern Bisel Peat (1893 - 1971) was an unsung hero of commercial and educational art. Her work, in addition to providing extraordinary colorful illustrations for children's books and the covers of Children's Playmate magazine, is often found on tin lithographed toys, puzzles and more.
