Darcey The Duck

Share the fun and exciting life of Darcey the duck and her farmyard friends, as they live their lives amongst the hustle and bustle of a busy working farm.
Why does Darcey start behaving strangely and being secretive?
What is she trying to hide from the other animals?
See how Petunia the pig and Henrietta the hen react to Darcey’s daily fussing and flapping and how they desperately want to find out what is going on!
Watch as Bob the young collie dog runs crazily around the farm whilst Farmer Barley tries to train him to herd sheep and Delilah the cow looks on in disbelief!

This is just the first of many adventures of Darcey and her friends – they will become your friends as you read about their wonderful lives and you will also learn how these animals live in our busy world.

Elaine has a passion for nature and wildlife, sharing her home and surrounding five acres with a wide variety of birds and animals. These include rescue dogs, ex-battery hens, hand-reared geese, and anything else that flies in and decides to stay for a while on one of the two lakes!
Elaine and her husband, Simon, strongly believe that children need to experience wildlife at a young age and have spent many years teaching and guiding their friends’ children how to respect nature and understand the life cycle of all birds and animals.
She currently works as an English teacher in an all-girls academy, sharing her other passion – the English language – with students, helping them to realise what an amazing language English is and the incredible knowledge we can gain from reading literature in all its varied forms.
