A-Z Of Fictional Animals

[herringthorpe]

U The UGLY DUCKLING - story by Hans Christian Anderson. I was very disappointed when in Copenhagen we were shown pictures of the author and he didn't look a bit like Danny Kaye.

 

[Lindum]

V - The Vain Little Mouse. Originally a Spanish folktale but the character or similar has featured in several later works. The original is a charming tale in which a mouse marries a cat and gets eaten!

W - Willy, the killer whale in Free Willy

 

[Lindum]

X - X. Name of the owl puppet in the 'Neighborhood of Make-Believe' in the long running US childrens TV show, Mister Rogers' Neighborhood.
