Everything old Ladybird books & their artists. A labour of love, not a job. Same username on other platforms. Exhibition: next on at Mansfield Museum
- This book was reduced in price because of the ‘untidy inscription’. I think they should have put the price up, for the same reason
- Today is Candlemas- which must be the best name in the calendar. Candlemas - a celebration of the return of light Artist: Gerald Witcomb
- It is with a deep sigh that I bring you: Public Services - Water Supply, 1969. Artist: John Berry
- The Elves and the Shoemaker, 1965 (So many people’s favourite) Artist: Robert Lumley
- Let me share today’s “Wow!” moment. I bid on this lot because no one else did. Books described as in only “good condition, some torn”. Arrived today. 50 books, most pre-1964, most with original dustwrappers. Excellent condition- and all settling in well to their new home☺️
- A few years ago in a charity shop, I saw this book - reduced in price because of the ‘untidy inscription’. They should have put the price up, for the same reason
- Elf-made shoes ‘The Elves and the Shoemaker’, 1965 Artist: Robert Lumley
- I once found this very touching inscription in a book: “This book belongs to Gillian Love, aged 7 8 10 12 60”
- Ladybird Artists Advent Calendar, the last window. ‘Winter Pastoral’ #SRBadmin
- Back when tinned grapefruit (or a slice of melon or a glass of orange juice) was an ‘hors d’oeuvres’ - and signified the start of a posh meal
