A classic picture book from the 1940s now back in print
These beautifully illustrated long out of print children's books were written and illustrated by Jack Townend during the Second World War.
A Story about Ducks is the charming tale of a group of ducks who, tired of their quiet little river in the country, decide to take a holiday - on their adventure they eat raspberry buns, ride a roller coaster and narrowly escape being eaten for Christmas dinner!
A Railway ABC is a behind-the-scenes look at the workings of the railroad. Townend's endearing lithograph illustrations - in both colour and monochrome - are accompanied by a gently humorous and whimsical text that will captivate children and adults alike.
