Hannibal was one of the last Ladybird books to be written by L du Garde Peach and one of the last to be issued with a full-page colour picture. It was the 38th book in the series. It was illustrated by Frank Humphris. Because this book dates from the period that Ladybird was sold, it was only issued with this cover for a very short period. Under new owners who were keep to ring the changes, later versions of this book have the blue framed cover. Only the first edition has the traditional style cover – and is now quite rare.
This copy:
This matt copy has the revised style cover. There is a light residue mark foot of spine but otherwise the boards are in unusually good, clean condition. Inside I would have said that the book had never been opened, so tight are the pages still except there is a light college stamp on the title page. A very clean copy of a rare book. It dates from the 1970s and has the original price of 30p on the back.
