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)

@LBFlyawayhome It's only a tiny step from here to a Tesla.
@LBFlyawayhome Join the railway they said, drive a great big steam engine they said...
@LBFlyawayhome Just think if Bobbie, Peter and Phyllis had been distracted by a motor car, instead of waving at The Old Gentleman on the train, their father might still be languishing in jail! And a life of hard rural poverty - stealing coal and fishing in the canal - would have been their lot.
@LBFlyawayhome Your daily postings brings back many happy memories of reading ladybird books as a child and please keep going with the posts!
@LBFlyawayhome As you say they feel more 1920's in design. They also have a flavour of Heath Robinson cartoons about them. Wonderully evocative.
@LBFlyawayhome Untearable? Now there's a challenge to any child.
@LBFlyawayhome Outside the main cities, now it would be the bus is empty and you can't get a seat on the train!
@PeterCrumpler @LBFlyawayhome Fab article! One of my favourites is the book of prayers, just magical.
@LBFlyawayhome And i see why it's one of your favourites.
@LBFlyawayhome Love these. Thinking of my Mum as she was born 1930.Thank you for sharing Helen. Health & safety would have something to say about some of the illustrations now😂

@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 🙌
