Angus and the Ducks

Last updated

Angus and the Ducks is a 1930 American children's picture book written and illustrated by Marjorie Flack and published by Doubleday & Company. It is about an encounter between a Scottish terrier named Angus and two ducks, a "true story" according to Flack. [1] The book's copyright was renewed in 1957, and it will enter the public domain on January 1, 2026. [a]

The book was followed by four sequels: [2] Angus and the Cat (1931), Angus Lost (1932), Wag-Tail Bess (1933, also known as Angus and Wag-Tail Bess), and Topsy (1935, also known as Angus and Topsy). Louise Seaman Bechtel noted the series' "clever relation of words to pictures; fine simplicity of both." [2]

In 1997 the book was adapted for video by Weston Woods Studios. [2]
