Vintage Ladybird Books

While doing my Christmas shopping in December, I found a reproduced set of vintage Ladybird books. The set of stories contained The Nurse, which inspired many hours of playing hospitals in my family.

In addition to the three re-released boxed sets, there is an extensive website that you can order prints of the delightful pages. Among these I found many of my favourites, including The Enormous Turnip and The Elves and the Shoemaker.


I wish all of them were still available, as I found many others I wished I had read. Such as one that included these instructions on making this treehouse hideaway.

Those books look really great!

Thanks Nadine. I love how the pictures usually take up the whole page (often so much is left white now) and they all look so interesting.
