Prayers and Hymns 3 titles published
between 1940 - 1980
Three titles in
this series only, the first two being issued with dust-wrappers.
The Lord’s Prayer is the first, and most collectable
of the series – it’s preface clearly indicates
that the book was aimed at adults who wanted to give their
children a better understanding into the meaning behind the
lines of the prayer, which it explains "is not an easy
prayer to understand".
This first title was compiled by Hilda Rostron, the author
of several Ladybird religious books, and top Ladybird artist,
Harry Wingfield, illustrated it in his usual brilliant style.
