THE HAMPTONS™ ORIGINAL STORYBOOK SERIES is a charming new division of the global lifestyle brand THE HAMPTONS™, bringing the enchanting tales of NERVOUS NELLY™, a spirited young turtle from Trout Pond, located in the area of Noyac in Sag Harbor, NY, and her trusty friends QUACKERS™ the duck (from Otter Pond in Sag Harbor, NY) and CHEESE™ the field mouse (from Mashashimuet Park) to life in multiple formats for readers to enjoy how they like: Short Form Videos, Interactive E-Books and Physical Paperback.
Set against the picturesque backdrop of Eastern Long Island, these delightful stories follow the trio as they embark on adventures across The Hamptons, North Fork and Shelter Island in between, uncovering the rich history, notable figures, and beloved landmarks that make these communities so special. With Nervous Nelly’s timid yet tenacious personality—complete with her quirky British-accented outbursts that happen when spooked—and the unique charm of her companions (Quackers is always excited and Cheese is focused on finding the next available snack!), the storybook series aims to entertain and educate young readers about how amazing the places they call home, along with their surrounding areas really are, that make people from across the world want to visit every year.
Expanding beyond the pages of the books and video screens, THE HAMPTONS™ global lifestyle brand is set to launch an adorable plush toy line featuring Nervous Nelly™, Quackers™, and Cheese™, alongside a collection of children’s apparel, accessories, cozy blankets, pillows and room decor inspired by the storybook characters.
Families can enjoy all of the stories in short-form video format exclusively on THE HAMPTONS™ official website and the brand’s official X social media profile, as well as in e-book format available via online retailer Amazon, with a plan to have physical copies available at local bookstores throughout The Hamptons and North Fork, all celebrating the region’s heritage and inviting children and adults everywhere to join Nervous Nelly™ and friends on their heartwarming journeys.
