There were just 2 titles published in Ladybird series 549
both of which were Robin Hood stories written by Max Kester
and illustrated by John
Kenney, the artist for many Ladybird books.
Although this series was small the books were very popular
- this was not just because they were about the outlaw Robin
Hood, but also because they were wonderfully told and illustrated.
