Parable of the Sower, Series 606a

The 4 ‘parable books were introduced into series 606a in the late 1970s, at a time when the company’s new owners were feeling experimental.  (Other bible stories are to be found in an earlier Ladybird series: 522.)

It was written by Sylvia Mandeville and illustrated by David Palmer in a more stylised, bolder mode of illustration typical of new Ladybird productions of this period.
