Stories about Children of the Bible, Series 606a

Stories about Children of the Bible, 1962 was the 4th book to be issued in series 606a.  (Other bible stories are to be found in an earlier Ladybird series: 522.)

It was written by Hilda Rostron, illustrated by Clive Uptton and was originally issued with a dustjacket.  Uptton also produced many similar bible-story illustrations as the main illustrator for Treasure magazine and as a regular contributor to Look and Learn.

The odd spelling to his surname was to avoid confusion with another artist – to distinguish himself, he simply decided to double the ‘t’.

This matt copy is in in very good condition, with light wear to the edges and a neat inscription to the front endpapers but nice, clean pages.  It dates to the 1970s but doesn’t have an original price on the back.
