For years I’ve been collecting vintage Ladybird Books and was featuring them on my old blog in something I called Ladybird Tuesday. I am completely in love with “Ladybird Land” as it has become known to collectors and I’m often found in charity shop and jumble sales looking for new titles to add to the 400+ that are already in my collection.
In time, all those posts will make it over to Penny Reads as a beautifully organised record of my whole collection. At the moment my collection is in a bit off a mess following a couple of house moves, so this list is a bit of a work in progress. But I’ll get there…
