With a furrowed brow, Mr. Darcy waddled around his garden. Mr. Darcy enjoyed waddling: but dancing?

Mr. Darcy dreads the first sign of spring. Flowers blooming means only one thing―dancing season, and Mr. Darcy simply cannot dance. What does it take for a proud duck to use his dancing feet? Can Lizzy convince Mr. Darcy to take a turn around the maypole? This delightful introduction to some of Jane Austen's infamous characters includes stunning watercolors from award-winning illustrator Peter Carnavas.

Introducing Mr. Darcy, a dapper little duck, who enjoys fine morning strolls and, maybe, a dance about the maypole with the fine Bennet sisters...if only he knew how to dance. Luckily, his friends are there to cheer him on and find his dancing feet.

This is adorable as a barnyard animal story, and the Pride & Prejudice references are the cherry on top. Mr. Darcy is the cutest duck. I loved all of the characters, the cheery artwork, and the encouraging message to try new things.

Perfect for animal lovers and Austenites alike. Don't miss out on all of the Mr. Darcy books!
