Description
Three Ducks Came to Candlewood & Other Stories by John Stanford is a charming collection of seven short stories, each capturing the delicate, sometimes unpredictable relationships between people, animals, and the land. Set against distinctly South African landscapes, these stories are accompanied by sixteen evocative black-and-white illustrations by Meg Jordi, adding atmosphere and warmth to each tale.
Drawing on his experiences as a farmer in remote, untamed places, Stanford brings a keen understanding of the natural world and human nature to his writing. The stories gently explore how animals and humans coexist — whether in harmony, tension, or mutual curiosity — with a tone that’s both nostalgic and quietly humorous. Suitable for both adults and younger readers, the collection holds universal themes told through a proudly local lens.
Three Ducks Came to Candlewood & Other Stories is perfect for readers who appreciate heartfelt storytelling with a strong sense of place, and for anyone who enjoys tales of rural life, nature, and the bond between species.
