Book excerpt: Excerpt from Queenie's Whim, Vol. 1 of 3: A Novel by Rosa Nouchette Carey in Three Volumes I have always thought the history of the ugly duckling one of the truest and most pathetic of all stories. It commences in the sad minor key, a long prelude of oppression, of misunderstanding. The unknown creature, sombre of plumage, makes no way among its companions; its folded-up beauties remain bidden. The duck-pond represents the world. Amidst plenty of quackery and folly the weaker goes to the wall. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
