London, 1961 (DJ)

£6.00

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 copy still has its original dj (not price-clipped) in very good condition.  The usual signs of wear and nicks to the DJ and a neat name to the front (map) endpapers but generally a nice, clean copy.
