London, 1961 (matt)

The Ladybird Book of London was the one and only title in series 618 – (although it was later moved across to join the  ‘Learnabout’ books, series 634, where it was re-written and re-illustrated – with photographs replacing the beautiful John Berry illustrations which are the best part of the original book).  This version – the original – is full of the gentle, nostalgic charm of a faded postcard found in a vintage book.

This was the first title that Berry illustrated for Ladybird and was originally issued with a dustwrapper.

This matt copy is in very good condition inside and out.  There only light shelf wear and the pages are nice and clean.  This copy dates to the 1970s and has an original price of 30p on the back.
