Produktbeschreibung

'Short, sharp and wickedly funny.' Elle

When Fup the ducklin arrives on the Santees' farm, 99-year-old gambler Jake and his giant grandson Tiny have no idea how their lives will be transformed. The hen mallard has an iron will and a taste for liquor. And soon the uncompromising Fup is ruling the roost.

Hilarious, enchanting, eccentric and wise, Fup is a modern classic, a gorgeous tale that will fly straight to your heart.

'Delightful and constantly surprising. A fairytale that is wonderfully down to earth.' Daily Telegraph

Rezensionen

I was a "wilderness educator" back in Texas in the mid-eighties . . . At night I used to read these tough, streetwise kids to sleep - Catcher in the Rye, The Grapes of Wrath, and a fable called Fup by Jim Dodge. They loved Fup in particular, a fable about a duck . . . I still hear from these kids - they're all over the country now and generally they're out of trouble, except for the fact that they might be reading Fup to their kids Colum McCann Paris Review
