The Ugly-Ducklingesque tale of Borka, the sixth gosling born to Mr and Mrs Plumpster, who wears a grey jumper her mother knits because she has no feathers, and can’t fly. Bullied and left behind by her migrating fellows, she stows away on a trawler, makes friends and ends up in Kew Gardens where the geese don’t mind strangeness.
Borka was the first book to be written and illustrated by John Burningham.
