Ladybird Book 5a

Where We Go with Peter, Jane and Pat the dog!

It's reassuring to know that even in the 60's, before I was born, childrens book characters were travelling on the same trains I have to use everyday on South Central.

There is an exhibition of Ladybird book covers at the Towner Art Gallery in Eastbourne at present. This book cover is 5a and unfortunately the original art was not on display for this piece. However, there are plenty of other original works of art that were used in the books on display, and the whole show made me feel very nostalgic for my days at infants school.
