About this book:

When a solitary duck appears on her doorstep during a rainstorm and politely taps to be let in, Agnes Periwinkle's meticulously ordered life is delightfully upended. This isn't just any duck; this is a curious, intelligent, and utterly charming creature who waddles right into her sitting room and makes himself quite at home, even developing a surprising fondness for her scones. Agnes, a woman of quiet routine, finds herself navigating the delightful chaos of having a feathered houseguest, dealing with damp footprints, the mystery of disappearing baked goods, and the inevitable, mounting curiosity of her neighbours on Ripplewood Lane.

What begins as a temporary arrangement quickly evolves into something more profound. As Agnes embraces the unexpected joy her duck brings, she builds a pond, a haven for her new companion and, unexpectedly, a focal point for the entire community. Friendships blossom over shared tasks, and even the most formidable neighbours are softened by the duck's gentle charm. But when a fierce storm threatens Ripplewood Lane, the true bravery and loyalty of this extraordinary duck are revealed, leading to a daring rescue and a deepening of the bonds that have transformed Agnes's quiet life into a tapestry of laughter, connection, and the enduring magic of friendship.

"The Duck Who Came To Tea" is a heartwarming tale about opening your home, and your heart, to the unexpected. It's a story of how one small, feathered creature can bring an entire community together, prompting quiet moments of wonder, surprising acts of kindness, and a gentle reminder that life's most extraordinary adventures often begin with a simple, insistent quack at the door. Join Agnes and her remarkable duck as they navigate the delightful challenges and profound joys of finding belonging in the most unlikely of places.
