Ducklings by Bellerophon
City versus country is a well-worn theme but I think Bellerophon handles it beautifully and originally and with lots of lovely descriptive touches and well-observed detail from the duckling's feathers down to the curry in Bristol.

Horses for courses I guess - but i far preferred the one before by Bellerophon about Freddo the polar bear:

But I am willing to be persuaded otherwise!

No, you're right Tony, the polar bear story is stunning, I just hadn't got to it yet! I was prepared to not like the anthropomorphism but it's actually good - simple, direct and rather menacing - and the story overall is full of clever twists and turns.
One of the most original and entertaining pieces I've read on the site.

Thanks for that... these are both older pieces of mine, and I've never felt they really worked but have never been able to decide why, so it's good to have the feedback.
