Another great, heartwarming story from the @TalkRoberto show. Helen Day has amassed a collection of thousands of Ladybird books. Some of them are being exhibited in her home city of St Albans next month. She told Rob, how her fascination started: bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/p0…
The modern world in old Ladybird books. "A policeman uses a modern portable transmitter to report a criminal’s movements" Artist: Robert Ayton (The Story of Radio, 1968)
It seems like a fever dream now, but as a child I thought this was the most desirable craft project ever. ‘Children in Shoe’ Things to Make (1963) Artist: G Robinson
“Find a hedgerow on a bank and examine just one yard of it. Then make a list of all the different plants you can find in that yard. You will be astonished at the variety” (1965) Artist: Ronald Lampitt Writer: Richard Bowood
There's a great interview about collecting Ladybird books in this new magazine. (Did I mention that the interview is with me?) villagegreenmag.bigcartel.com
On this day 24th April 1750 Abraham Darby III was born. He was the builder of ‘Iron Bridge’, the first ever cast-iron bridge, crossing the River Severn. Artist: Gerald Witcomb (Bridges, 1974)
On this day 23rd April 1616, William Shakespeare died, aged 52 Artist: Martin Aitchison (‘Story of The Theatre’, 1970)
These books were described as “good condition, some torn”. But just look at them! 50 books, most pre-1964, most with original dustwrappers. Excellent condition- and all happy in their new home☺️

@LBFlyawayhome My mum had one - the cat used to sleep in it
@LBFlyawayhome My mum had one of those, it was tiny so that even back then it was of limited use for shopping. It spent most of its life as a peg basket.
@AnnMile71721158 Thank you. @LBFlyawayhome should get a mention too
@sodascone @cocteautriplets Oo they are awesome!
Just spent the afternoon watching this auction and bought these! No one else bid! Thanks for the heads up @cocteautriplets 🙌
In case anyone's looking for a quirky seating solution, there's a pair of Edinburgh Corporation bus seats up for auction in Leith just now. Estimate £80-120 for the pair. the-saleroom.com/en-gb/auction-…
@LBFlyawayhome I'm delighted to hear that, because I loved Luck, too.
@LBFlyawayhome I think those Ladybird images did an enormous amount to inspire the imaginations and foster creativity in my generation.
@LBFlyawayhome I enjoy and admire every one of your posts. You are delightful! Many, many thanks! 😊
@LBFlyawayhome He, along with the others, illustrated my childhood ❤️
@LBFlyawayhome What a body of work he created— loved by so many and crucial in our learning. ♥️
@LBFlyawayhome Love seeing nonagenarians still active in the arts — gives me hope 😊
@LBFlyawayhome All of the Ladybird pictures are so evocative, stimulating emotions of warmth safety kindness and contentment. Better days? They felt it. Butpictures that are artistic masterpieces in their particular genre.
