A mother duck hatches a brood of ducklings. All are sweet little yellow babies - all but one, who is very large, very gray, and very ugly. The poor ugly duckling is teased and tormented by everyone he meets, even his own mother, brothers, and sisters. Driven from his home in the barnyard, the unhappy duckling wanders the world alone, suffering hardships, cruelty, and ridicule wherever he goes. This exquisite tale of rejection and redemption has been a favorite with children since its first publication in 1845. The hapless duck's plight, and his ultimate triumph, is especially relevant in today's image-conscious world.

The work of twenty great American poets, including their best-known and best-loved works, are featured in this superb collection which spans the poetry of Anne Bradstreet and Edward Taylor to that of Robert Frost and Marianne Moore. William Cullen Bryant and Henry Wadsworth Longfellow admire the beauty of America and celebrate her legends while James Russell Lowell pokes polite fun at them. Ralph Waldo Emerson and Henry David Thoreau anticipate the achievement of an original American voice as Walt Whitman celebrates his revelation that 'the United States themselves are essentially the great poem, ' and American verse finds its place in the sun. From the personal lyrics of Emily Dickinson to the spare strength of Robert Frost, the ironic subtleties of Wallace Stevens and the jazz rhythms of Langston Hughes, this is a fascinating and rewarding treasury of Great American Poetry.
