Duckworth Books
7-year-old Virginia Woolf, Gerald Duckworth’s half-sister, composes an account of the Duckworth name – One day when William Rufus was hunting in the New Forest he shot a duck. It fell into the middle of a pond and could not be recovered; but an active little page boy waded out into the water and recovered the bird. The King drew his sword and dubbed the lad, saying ‘Arise, Sir Duckworth!
