Capital Cities of
the World 2 titles published
between 1940 and 1980
Another two-book
series which was intentionally produced to carry a number
of books examining the capital cities of the world, but
this was almost immediately abandoned for some time after
publishing it’s first title.
In 1971 Wills & Hepworth published Jen
Londono(London)
in the European language Esperanto - this edition was
issued in pictorial matt boards and had the identical
illustrations to that of the original English edition
- the original English text was directly translated into
Esperanto..
Strangely enough Ladybird decided to add another title
to this series some 19 years later - again called London
and published in 1980, this title was not a revision of
the first book but is different in every way - the text
is completely different and the book uses photographs
by the author / photographer, John
Moyes.
