How The Little Duck Pond Cafe Began
Rosie Green’s journey with The Little Duck Pond Cafe began in 2018 with the release of Spring at The Little Duck Pond Cafe. Inspired by her love for romantic comedies and cozy settings, Green crafted a series that blends humor with heartfelt moments. What started as a single novella blossomed into a sprawling collection, driven by her knack for creating characters you’d want as neighbors and a village you’d never want to leave.
A former journalist, Green traded deadlines for duck ponds, channeling her storytelling skills into tales of everyday heroines. Her vision? To offer readers a slice of Sunnybrook life that’s as comforting as a freshly baked scone—simple, sweet, and utterly satisfying.
The Heart of The Little Duck Pond Cafe
The series kicks off with Spring at The Little Duck Pond Cafe, where Ellie Farmer flees a failed romance and finds solace—and a soggy dip—in Sunnybrook’s duck pond. Summer at The Little Duck Pond Cafe follows Jaz Winters, who pins her hopes on a new life, only to face unexpected challenges. A Bakery at The Little Duck Pond Cafe sees Ellie’s bakery dreams take shape amidst village chaos, while Snowed in at The Little Duck Pond Cafe traps Fen in a snowstorm of secrets and love.
At its core, the series weaves themes of self-discovery, resilience, and the power of community. Green’s light, conversational style paints Sunnybrook as a haven where mistakes are forgiven, friendships flourish, and romance simmers like a pot of tea. From autumn bonfires to snowy escapes, the shifting seasons mirror the characters’ journeys, making each book a cozy, standalone treat tied together by the cafe’s enduring spirit.
With over 30 books and counting, the series doesn’t follow a strict linear path—think of it as a patchwork quilt of stories, each square a fresh adventure. Whether it’s Katja’s cake van in The Pop-Up Cake Shop or Clara’s garden in Clara’s Secret Garden, Green keeps the magic alive with new faces and familiar places.
