The Unexpected Love Story of Alfred Fiddleduckling

Written and Illustrated by Timothy Basil Ering

Wonderful picture book, with beautifully illustrated pictures. Captain Alfred is sailing home with the ducks he has bought for the family farm, when he is caught in an unexpected, mighty storm. Everything aboard the small vessel is flung into the sea, including the very special and beautiful duck egg he had nestled safely inside his fiddle case. The little duck breaks out of its shell and discovers Captain Alfred’s fiddle. The duckling embraces the fiddle with all his heart. What follows is a beautiful story!
