Description

<p><span><span>Shakespeare's Witches tell Banquo, &quot;Thou Shalt 'Get Kings Though Thou Be None&quot;. Though Banquo is murdered, his son Fleance gets away. What happened to Fleance? What Kings? As Shakespeare's audience apparently knew, Banquo was the ancestor of the royal Stewart line. But the road to kingship had a most inauspicious beginning, and we follow Fleance into exile and death, bestowing the Witches' prophecy on his illegitimate son Walter. Born in Wales and raised in disgrace, Walter's efforts to understand Banquo's murder and honor his lineage take him on a long and treacherous journey through England and France before facing his destiny in Scotland.</span></span></p>

Story Behind The Book

This book is based on a real-life event that occurs most years in the school where I work as a Secretary. Staff and children alike enjoy watching Mrs Mallard choose her nesting site and we all look forward to finding out just how many ducklings will be hatched. The book also contains photographs of the real Mrs Mallard and her ducklings.

This endearing story is written by Angela Cater, a secretary at the school where Mrs Mallard chooses to build her nest. This beautifully illustrated tale will appeal to children everywhere and is set to become a firm favourite with the youngest children at Manchester High School for Girls, who will love reading a story based on a ture event that occurs each year in their own school. <p><font face="Arial"><em>Mrs Claire Hewitt, Head Mistress, Manchester High School for Girls<br /><br /></em></font></p> <p><font face="Arial">Who doesn't love an adorable downy duckling? In 'A Perfect Nest for Mrs Mallard', we follow two determined ducks as they find just the right spot for their nest, then take their new family to the nearby lake. This charming story, sprinkled with interesting bits of information about ducks and their habitat is a delight from beginning to end.</font></p> <p><font face="Arial"><em>Jean Tennant, author of 'Olivia's Birthday Puppy'</em></font></p>
