  One of a series in which each book is dedicated to collectables featuring an individual animal, this book focuses on ducks. The text is a mixture of fact, anecdote and legend, detailing the duck's role in history, art, literature, folklore and magic, and the illustrations show ways in which the duck has been depicted as artwork, icon, toy and trademark.
