Nightsky

    Ladybird Book - The Night Sky.

    Published 1965.
    Illustrations by Robert Ayton

    I've got about 150 of these. I picked this at random. The artwork inside these things is incredible.

    I think it was probably these books that started me off on a lifelong reading habit.

    They really are informative, artistic, sharply written, incredibly stylish and charming.

    I don't think there is any real equivalent nowadays.

      I used to love the illustrations. Especially the fairy tale ones which were so well done and sometimes a bit creepy. I would love to pick some old ones up and build a collection!
