Through-the-Ages: Transport

‘Through the Ages’ Transport was the second of the two ‘Through the Ages’ books, series 606f.  It was written by Muriel Goaman and was illustrated by Frank Hampson.  As ever, Hampson brings his vivid imagination to the story, creating drama and humour to the scenes of the book.  Scale, drama, colour and impact all take precedence over accuracy and scale in this book (a favourite topic for Ladybird over the years) but I love it for this reason.
