The Stroogle

The Stroogle is a modern twist to the classic ugly duckling story. The simple rhyming text leads the reader through an adventure of rejection, misunderstanding and sadness to friendship, courage and acceptance. Unlike the traditional story where the swan grows beautiful and is subsequently accepted, the Stroogle is befriended by a rather drab looking mouse. He then has the courage to show his ‘true colours’ when he leads the mouse on a daring rescue of the garden gnomes from the much larger hungry fox. Inscribed by the author on the half-title page.
